The chilling sequel to Killing me Softly DCI Greg Allison and Sergeant Mark Stringer - coppers overloaded with work are once again led down a path, which twists and turns bringing to light a female psychic, Holly, who has a physical and psychic connection with Tony. Holly lives through the new slayings at a huge cost to herself and when Tony's mother recognises she is being watched through Holly's abilities she turns her evil eye on the psychic. A young woman, an amnesiac, is discovered wandering the streets of the city. She has been badly beaten up and someone has gone to great lengths to prevent her identification. All the labels have been cut out of her clothes. Is she an innocent victim or is there something more sinister in her background? Young Ronnie Soper, truant and part time thief is caught by part of a brutal gang involved in a clever multi million pound antique fraud and subjected to interrogation and torture before being left for dead in a flooded quarry. The mixture of seemingly unrelated cases are, however, inextricably linked. As Mrs. Clifton battles for Tony's release more women are killed. The final crushing triumph of Tony's mother in engineering her son's release causes her own downfall. Her bloody rampage including a Janey Jones style kidnapping achieves her aim but in gaining Tony's freedom she loses her own. Will Tony be once more on the streets of Birmingham and free to kill again?
