Two traffic officers are discovered dead in North Wales on an isolated pass on the mountain. Inspector Drake is called to do some work on the scene but is put off when he finds a message from the killer there, which is traffic cones that have been arranged to make the shape of the numeral four.

Things take a turn when the killer apparently starts taunting them or bragging by the way of sending lyrics to the Wales Police Service. All of them are from famous rock songs that have come out over the years, and the inspector is not sure they’re simply messages or there is some type of hidden meaning that is yet to be discovered with them.

Are more killings likely to happen now that the killer has shown that they are definitely still out there and waiting to strike again? A politician is killed next, and now Inspector Drake feels confident that he has the answer.

Then the killer decides to send over lyrics once more, and Drake has to contend with the fact that more deaths might be possible. He also has to deal with the numbers in this case and face down his own particular obsessions and rituals.

When the killer decides to extend their threats to the inspector and his family, it turns personal. Will he be able to track down the killer, or will they have the choice to claim more victims? Can the inspector bring this case to a victorious close? Read this crime fiction book to find out!
