Daniel is a queer journalist living in London. His relationships appear to be sexually fulfilling but sentimentally meagre. He has no relationships outside of sexual ones, and can seem at once callow and, at times, cold to the point of cruel with his lovers. Emotionally distant from his elderly father, Daniel returns to South Africa to care for him during his final months. Following his father's death, Daniel learns of an unusual clause in the old man's will: he will only inherit his half of the estate once he has spent time with Theon, a cousin whom he hasn't seen since they were boys.

El caso suena arriesgado, aunque sencillo: sin embargo, cierta incongruencia en los hechos parece indicar la existencia de una amenaza más profunda. La investigación se complica cuando el degradado barrio bostoniano de Dorchester, en el que Kenzie vivió su adolescencia, se convierte en escenario de asesinatos cuya singular crueldad recuerda crímenes ocurridos veinte años antes allí mismo.

Septiembre de 1954.

La única pista es una hoja de papel con una serie de números y letras sin significado aparente.
