Under the watchful eye of Superintendent Bone, Inspector Dewar has his work cut out when he is called to investigate a mysterious spate of killings—each victim is apparently unconnected, the murders linked only by the macabre addition of a numbered badge to the victim’s corpse. As the death toll mounts, Dewar and Bone face a race against time to catch the killer. But who could be behind these terrible crimes? And what could possibly be the motivation for such apparently random acts of cruelty…?
