'I can't believe I'm thinking this, Ross. I'm not a violent person, even before Caitlin's influence, I never even liked killing flies in my kitchen. Now I'm sitting here actually willing some stranger to die'. The body of a teenager dredged from the seabed off the coast of Sussex, is found to be missing its vital organs. Soon two more young bodies are found...Caitlin Beckett, a fifteen-year-old in Brighton, will die if she does not receive a liver transplant, urgently.
