Ritual
Detective Inspector Brian McDone is ready to retire. Exhausted after years of challenging cases and personal battles, he wants nothing more than to ease through his final year of employment so he can spend more time with his growing family.
But when two bodies are dragged out of a canal, brutalised and butchered in ritualistic fashion, Brian is forced to lead one final fight against the criminal underworld of Preston.
As the body count grows and the mystery thickens, Brian fast discovers dark secrets that put his life -- and his family's life -- in jeopardy.
