Description: When Lia witnesses a disturbing scene on her way to work, she, like the rest of the City of London, is horrified. As details unfurl in the media, the brutal truth emerges: a Latvian prostitute has been killed, her body run over by a steamroller and then placed in the boot of a car to be found. As the weeks pass and no leads are found, the news story dies but Lia finds herself unable to forget. When she meets Mari, another Finn living in London, she thinks it fortuitous, but Mari has engineered the meeting for her own advantage.

Mari and Lia, two Finnish women in London, meet in a late-night bar and strike up a firm friendship. When Lia shares her plaguing thoughts about a murder she has witnessed, Mari, a psychologist who possesses an unnatural way of being able to 'read' people, thinks she can help where the police have failed. But Mari and Lia are about to set foot in to extremely dangerous territory, especially as Mari has a will to control others and take vengeance on those she deems deserve it.
