With DCI Carol Jordan in the hospital after being mugged and struck by a car, psychologist Tony Hill assists the police in cases of missing children. The profile in this case is odd. The children are being abducted and held for several days before being killed, but the children are not sexually molested. The children all come from either broken or abusive homes and it is apparent that the killer either knew them or had access to information about them. In all cases, the children were induced to run away. As they research the case, the police realize that these murders have a long history and involve many children.

William MacAdam, a one-time killer is now one of Tony's students and these new murders are very similar to the ones he committed 30 years ago. He was released from prison as he was considered rehabilitated and has lost the use of both hands due to severe arthritis. Tony is convinced that MacAdam is their man, but he is quite shrewd and it will be very difficult to get the evidence required.
