Dacă în primul volum el este chemat în Mayo County, Irlanda, de data aceasta va fi invitat să asiste un caz din Paris, chiar în timpul săptămânii modei, când modelul unei cunoscute case de modă este găsită grav rănită în camera unui hotel. The author's diversion to Paris as a setting was distracting, especially with French comments that added little to the characters or the storyline.

Back in London after a dramatic trip to North America, Doctor Alexander Gregory finds himself without an occupation while he awaits the all-important decision of the disciplinary panel at Southmoor Hospital. This series differs in that the storyline isn’t just written as a straight forward police procedural, but also through Alex’s perspective—so we are privy to the profiler/pyscologist insights into the impact on the victim and the lasting effects of trauma. Murder and mystery are peppered with dark humour in this fast-paced thriller set amidst the spectacular Irish landscape. Eva Bisset’s life was a world away from the glitz and glamour of those involved in the world of fashion. Dr Alexander Gregory is in Paris with his mentor Professor William Douglas, giving a speech about criminal profiling at the request of La Police Judiciaire, during what happened to be fashion week.

We get to see the victims and the perpetrators in a different light and delve into what makes them tick. Again, we saw another, more vulnerable, side to Alex in his relationship with a certain lady, who is another brilliant character. He tends to blow hot and cold one minute he's telling Madeline that he's going to be honest about their affair even if it may cost him his job then the next minute he's leaving.She enjoys reading all manner of books, painting, travelling and spending time with family and friends. Without her help, the police are powerless to stop the killer before he strikes again – can Gregory unlock the secrets of her mind, before it’s too late?
