A detective's first murder case
A tattoo artist's deadly secret
And a crazed serial killer about to strike again...

When Brighton tattoo artist Marni Mullins finds a skinned body, newly promoted Inspector Francis Sullivan needs the artist's help. A serial killer on the loose cuts tattoos from the bodies of his victims who are still alive.
Marni knows the tattoo world better than the back of her hand, but she has reason not to trust the police. He realizes who the killer's next target will be, but will he tell Sullivan or will the tattoo thief scout him out on his own?
