Synopsis

A series of mysterious murders in a hive city pique the interest of Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn. There's a commonality between them all that suggests something deeper than simply random acts of a crazed killer – but what could be behind the brutal slayings, and what will it mean for the safety of the entire city?

Read it because It's a short tale that shows Eisenhorn at his very best, piecing together the clues to a series of hideous killings. As close to a classic detective story as there's ever been in Warhammer 40,000.
