  Leeds. Sunday 29 May 1977. It's happening again ...Three years after the Strafford Shootings and little has changed in the dark world of west Yorkshire. Prostitutes are being murdered with grim regularity. Bob Fraser is a half-way decent copper in a police force as corrupt as it is brutal. Jack Whitehead is a burned out hack in perpetual self-torment after the Exorcist killings. Both men are struggling to control their desperate infatuations with Chapeltown whores. When the two sevens clash ...As the burning summer gives way to the bonfires of Jubilee Night, Fraser begins to suspect that the Yorkshire Ripper isn't the only killer in town. Whitehead is the only other man who even cares.
