Maria King knows a secret London. Born blind, she knows the city by sound and touch and smell but now that surgery has restored her sight, the world seems a scarier place and she doesn't want to see it.
DCI Jonathan Dark also sees a different side to the city. He's in the shadows, haunted by his failure to save a woman from the hands of stalker, and he won't let it happen again.
Now a killer has set his sights on Maria, and Jonathan must find a way to stop him.
But when gathering evidence, you can't choose your source.
Can you save the living by talking to the dead?
