Ich dachte, dies wäre ein einfacher Profiling-Auftrag. Nur ein weiterer Nachahmer von Jack the Ripper, der durch Londons Straßen streift und nach leichter Beute sucht. Ich lag falsch. Dieser Mörder ist ein Fae, so schwer zu fassen wie ein Schatten. Aber ich bin FBI-Profilerin und es ist meine Aufgabe, ihn zu finden. Es spielt keine Rolle, dass einer der Hauptverdächtigen–ein charmanter, aber todgefährlicher Fae–versucht, mich zu verführen … oder zu töten, ich bin mir nicht sicher, welches von beidem.

Zu allem Überfluss wurde meine beste Freundin Scarlett entführt, und ihr Entführer spielt ein grausames Spiel: „Kommando Pimperle“, bei dem er mir unmögliche Aufgaben stellt. Roan, ein verführerischer Fae-Krieger, bietet mir seine Hilfe an … aber die hat ihren Preis.
