Det gamle bastionstårn på Sussex’ stormomsuste kyst er af de lokale kendt som Djævlens Tårn. Det er omgærdet af vandrehistorier og rygter om en mørk fortid og er bestemt ikke et sted, man frivilligt bevæger sig hen efter mørkets frembrud. I den oversvømmede kælder gør man et grusomt...

Da en tilfældigt forbipasserende finder et skelet på en øde rasteplads nær Hastings, vækker det uhyggelige minder om den berygtede seriemorder, Dukkemorderen, som terroriserede Sydengland for tyve år siden. Dukkemorderen blev dengang formodet død, så er der en copycat på spil, eller er...

William Boyd er for tiden fungerende kriminalkommisær, og han hader det. Excelark og udgiftsbilag og interne rapporter fylder hans skrivebord, og da seks lig bliver fundet i Argyle House, hvor byens udstødte lever side om side, sætter han Minter og Okeke på sagen, selvom han helst ville tage...

With Boyd busy dealing with an under-manned CID department, a new grandchild, and Samantha Okeke desperately worried about her man, Jay... the action switches to Florida. Jay has taken on a lucrative PI contract with a British businessman. Cash-in-hand no questions asked. But has Jay taken on more than he can handle?

Argyle House, the most hated home on Cottle Street. A place where the town’s unwanted and despised are housed. Given the local hostility, it’s no surprise to anyone when a body is discovered in one of its flats.

When Jay Turner, a nightclub doorman, accidentally overhears a murder being planned, he suddenly becomes Hastings' most wanted man! Not only is he wanted by East Sussex Police for a violent crime that he's been framed for, but by a desperate psychopath with limitless resources, who simply can't afford for Jay to live...and for the truth to come out.

When a fire destroys a landmark home in Hastings and "national treasure" Sir Arthur Sutton's body is found in the debris, it seems that arson may be to blame. But, who would want the old man dead? Could it be his children—both with a strong motive? Or his ex-wife? His live-in carer? Or perhaps its one of those Westminster "chums" he got to know during his short spell in the Cabinet? Boyd had better find out before he becomes another detail for someone to tidy up.

When old bones are discovered buried beside an A road, it becomes clear that Leon Martin—dubbed "The Ken Doll Killer" by the tabloid press—may not have taken his life 21 years ago. As Boyd investigates the old case file, it becomes clear that there may be new bodies buried at lay-bys around the country—more than that, something incredible was overlooked by the original investigating team.

A sinking boat is spotted off the South Coast. Waiting onboard is a grisly discovery. DCI Boyd, recently relocated from London to Hastings, is now with the East Sussex CID, and his first case is that of a local businessman and his new young wife, missing in the English Channel. All that remains of them is a grim scene aboard their half-submerged yacht and a digital trail of clues that could put Boyd and his daughter, Emma, in danger.
