Nick Creed, a former FBI profiler, has dedicated his life to hunting beasts in human form. But that life is now in the past, and he has returned home to South Africa, where he is still haunted by the ghosts of his past failures. But when the dismembered and mutilated body of a young woman is found in the veldt near Johannesburg, Creed's old friend, Police Major Eli Grey, brings him in as a consultant to his unit. Not everyone in the police force is happy to have a consultant with a dark past, and journalists are eager to expose his secrets. Nick Creed is reluctant to take on the case and immediately makes several assumptions. Who could have committed such a brutal crime? The victim's ex-boyfriend, jealous of his new lover? Or maybe it was a ritualistic murder...
