Summary

Who killed theatre director Max Quincey during a run of the play Jack-in-the-box in London's West End? Who killed the male prostitutes back in 1985, when the show was last performed and when Max was the star? What is the significance of the Jack-in-the-Box doll found with the body, the markings on its eyes matching mutilations to Max's face, and identical to the toys found with each of the original victims? Has the killer returned? Is it a copycat? Or a revenge slaying for the rent boy murders when Max was prime suspect? The questions are stacking up for DCI Yvonne Valenti, and her partner, DI Steve English, as she races against the clock to unravel a tangled web of clues, lies and half-truths, to catch a deranged killer before they strike again.
