A dark moon is rising. A perfect black circle, barely visible in the night sky, the dark moon casts its void over the wind-scorched moor, over the soaring mass of a great limestone hill, and over the town that cowers in its shadow. The dark moon is the absence of moon before the slender silver crescent of the new moon appears again and people can breathe a little easier. The month is March, and the night is clear and cold, black as pitch.

La carrera profesional de Florence Lovelady llegó a lo más alto cuando treinta años atras ella misma dirigió el arresto de Larry Grassbrook, un fabricante de ataúdes y asesino en serie. Como algo propio de nuestras peores pesadillas, las víctimas eran niños y fueron enterrados vivos.

Pero ahora, treinta años más tarde, Larry ha muerto y los eventos del pasado se comienzan a repetir. 

En gylden sommer og seks talentfulde venner, der ser frem til hver sin strålende fremtid – indtil en dyst på vovemod går frygteligt galt, og en kvinde og to børn bliver dræbt.

Den 18-årige Megan påtager sig skylden og lader de andre beholde friheden til at fortsætte deres liv. Til gengæld går de alle med til at gøre hende „en tjeneste“, når hun bliver løsladt fra fængslet.

Tyve år senere er Megan på fri fod. Legen kan begynde …

Just before dawn in the hills near the Scottish border, a man murders a young woman. At the same time, a hot-air balloon crashes out of the sky. There's just one survivor. She's seen the killer's face - but he's also seen hers. And he won't rest until he's eliminated the only witness to his crime. Alone, scared, trusting no one, she's running to where she feels safe - but it could be the most dangerous place of all....

Én gang morder, altid morder. En julidag i 1999 afdækker kloakarbejdere fire børnelig under et eftersyn af et lokalt kloaksystem tæt ved Black Moss Manor, et refugium for erhvervsfolk i byen Sabden. I 1969 blev Black Moss Manor lukket ned som børnehjem på grund af den børnemishandling, der fandt sted, og samme år fik betjent Florence Lovelady seriemorderen Larry Glassbrook sat i fængsel.

Lige før daggry, nær bakkerne ved den skotske grænse, bliver en ung kvinde slået ihjel på brutal vis. Samtidigt styrter en luftballon ned. Der er kun én overlevende. Hun har set morderens ansigt – og han har set hendes. Nu vil han ikke helme, før han har udryddet det eneste vidne til sin forbrydelse. Alene, bange, og ude af stand til at stole på nogen, flygter hun. Men den største fare er måske at finde der, hvor hun mindst venter det.

Hvis hun fanger ham, vil det sikre hendes karriere - og forandre hende for altid. Florence Loveladys karriere var sikret, da hun fik bedemanden Larry Glassbrook dømt for en række barnemord for 30 år siden. Ligesom i vores værste mareridt blev ofrene begravet... levende.

Berømte mordere har fanklubber. Hamish Wolfe er ikke nogen undtagelse – til trods for at han skal sidde spærret inde resten af sit liv for mord på tre unge kvinder, får han utallige fanbreve hver eneste dag. Hans beundrere er sikre på, at han er uskyldig, og at han er manden i deres liv.
