Chladné londýnske ráno. Veľký kufor, ktorý vyplavila Temža.
Detektív šéfinšpektor Erika Fosterová a jej kolegyňa Mossová už
tušia, že ich vnútri čaká nepríjemné prekvapenie… Ale na to, čo
naozaj nájdu, keď sa im zhrdzavený kufor podarí po niekoľkých
márnych pokusoch otvoriť, nemôže byť pripravený nikto… Hoci to nie
je prvýkrát, keď detektív šéfinšpektor Erika Fosterová čelí
brutálnej vražde, kufor s rozrezaným telom mladého muža vyplavený
na breh Temže ju šokuje. Pred dvoma týždňami bolo navyše nájdené v
podobnom kufri telo mladej ženy. Je to len náhoda alebo sa Erika a
jej tím budú musieť opäť postaviť sériovému vrahovi? A čo ďalšie
prípady, ktoré sa stali v inom okrese a za iných okolností? Môžu sa
aj u nich nájsť nejaké spoločné znaky s prípadom tiel v kufroch?
