Together the pair investigate a series of increasingly grisy murders and find themselves on the trail of a devious killer.  As you do, If you're a detective.  The case leads Cloth and Oldman from leafy forests to sinister lock-up, from the luxury home of an arrogant TV chef to the cold dissection rooms of a vampish forensic pathologist.
