A killer is murdering Goths with relish-- skinning and butchering them. The cops aren't getting anywhere so Jack Nightingale's nemesis, Superintendent Chalmers, asks him for help. Nightingale discovers that the murdered Goths had one thing in common: a tattoo connected to the secretive Satanic child-sacrificing cult called the Order of Nine Angles. As Nightingale closes in on the killers, the Order will stop at nothing to protect their secrets-- and with connections across the world, there's only one way to stop the carnage-- and that's to take his own life.
