The fate of women

Every police officer can recall a case that will always haunt him. For Detective Sergeant Jack Bull it is the case known as the Fate of Women. Someone has developed a solution to the problem of responding to violence against women. That person is murdering rapists discharged from prison after serving derisory short sentences. For Detective Sergeant Jack Bull, some of the stress in this case arises from his ambivalence about whether he wants the serial murderer caught. But far greater stress comes from the possibility that he will be murdered during the investigation. Jack is pushed to his limits as the investigation leads to its tragic conclusion.
