Twelve bodies, no motive, the hunt is on. A lorry load of Chinese immigrants arrives in Hull. Twenty-four hours later their bodies are discovered close to the M62 Motorway. A young man and a girl are missing, and still at risk. Supported by the National Crime Agency, Caton must travel to China to pick up the trail. He discovers that the solution is closer to home, in Manchester's Chinatown, and time is running out.
