Will MacReady couldn't have had a worse first day . . . At a squalid flat near the Cardiff docks, an early morning police raid goes catastrophically wrong when the police aren't the only unexpected guests. Young and inexperienced, it's Will MacReady's first day with CID. And with a cop dead, the city in shock and the entire force reeling, he is soon out of his depth as passions begin to run high. But when another body is found in the harbour, after almost ritualistic mutilation, MacReady realises that this job will be harder than he ever dreamed - and that his colleagues need him more than he ever imagined.
