Theodore Tate har aldrig kunnat glömma sin första brottsplats – tioåriga Jessica Cole hittades död i ett gammalt övergivet slakthus. Mördaren greps och dömdes. Rättvisa var skipad. Eller? Femton år senare härjas Christchurch av en ny mördare som verkar utgå från en lista med människor som var inblandade i Jessica Coles fall. En av dem är den olycksalige doktor Stanton, psykiatriker och pappa till tre små flickor. Om Tate ska lyckas hjälpa dem måste han hitta kopplingen mellan mördaren, slakthuset och stadens brant stigande mordstatistik.

Att människor försvinner i Christchurch är inte ovanligt, men när psykologiprofessorn Cooper Riley plötsligt inte dyker upp på sitt arbete och studenten Emma Green spårlöst försvinner efter sitt skift på ett kafé, börjar oron växa. Deras försvinnanden sammanfaller med att den tidigare kriminalinspektören Theodore Tate friges efter ett fyra månader långt fängelsestraff. Emma Greens far anlitar Tate som privatutredare för att hitta dottern, en skuld Tate bär på efter att ha varit inblandad i en rattfylleriolycka som nästan kostade Emma livet året innan.
