[edit]

Logan McRae is still living in a caravan, his girlfriend, Samantha, is still unresponsive and someone is leaving bones on his doorstep. Besides all this he has to cope with Detective Inspector Steel, a string of assaults and someone who is going around and Necklacing[2] people. More murders follow and the filming of a novel about witchcraft seems to be inspiring the Necklacing murders.
