Soon there will be a killing. Close your eyes and breathe the aroma. I can smell it right now, can´t you? So powerful, so sweet. So irresistible. It´s the scent of death–¦

The anonymous caller who taunts Derbyshire Police seems to be just another hoaxer. But DS Diane Fry has to take him seriously when a woman is snatched from a multi-storey car park. It´s possible the chilling voice is telling the truth when it hints at earlier murders and bodies waiting to be found in ´the dead place´.

DC Ben Cooper, meanwhile, has found a body - or rather, a collection of bones. This comes as a shock to the deceased´s family, for Audrey Steele should have left no bones. Eighteen months ago, after dying from natural causes, Audrey was cremated and her ashes scattered in Edendale´s memorial gardens.

Their investigations lead Fry and Cooper into the world of those whose lives revolve around death.
