Een regenachtige avond in een achterbuurt in Zuid-Londen. Vijf tieners wachten in een auto op hun prooi. De eerste de beste passerende automobilist zal het slachtoffer worden van een dodelijke initiatierite. Het is het begin van een bloedstollend verhaal waarin niets is wat het lijkt. Het speelt zich af in een gewelddadige stad, waar jeugdbendes slaags raken met professionele criminelen en waar loyaliteit in mensenlevens wordt betaald. Geheimen worden ontsluierd in hetzelfde tempo waarmee er nieuwe slachtoffers vallen. De adembenemende en verrassende ontknoping van In het duister blijft tot het einde onvoorspelbaar.

W Pelican Palms na Florydzie spotykają się trzy pary Brytyjczyków. Zaprzyjaźniają się, ale ostatniego dnia ich doskonałe wakacje zmieniają się w koszmar: znika trzynastoletnia córka jednej z wczasowiczek kurortu. Podejrzany może być każdy z powyższej szóstki, bo wszyscy mają swoje mroczne tajemnice. Po powrocie do Anglii trzy pary kontynuują znajomość, ale mroczny cień na ich przyjaźń rzuca sprawa zaginionej - a jak się wkrótce okazuje, zamordowanej dziewczynki.

He's a detective, a dancer, he has no respect whatsoever for authority ­- and he's the best hope Blackpool has for keeping criminals off the streets. Meet Detective Declan Miller. A double murder in a seaside hotel sees grieving Miller return to work to solve what appears to be a case of mistaken identity. Just why were two completely unconnected men taken out? With a distinctly loose relationship with reality and a new partner to deal with, can eccentric, offbeat Miller find answers where more traditional police have found only an impossible puzzle?

He is convinced the death was not an accident and forces the one man who knows more about the case than any other, Thorne, to re-investigate.

Teenager Luke Mullen was last seen getting into a car with an older woman. No one can understand why he has disappeared.

It shows their son, eyes wide with terror, as a man advances towards him holding a syringe. DI Tom Thorne recognises a psychopath when he sees one. And the scene on the tape chills him to the bone - he knows that a child's life hangs in the balance and that every minute counts.
