A string of bizarre accidents is killing off the former members of a prep-school cricket team, and three elusive women - a gorgeous porn star, her mysterious sister, and their mousy roommate - offer the only clues to why the men are being murdered ... and who's behind it.Seven years before, the young men had played a game they called "groining" - a horrifying name for brutal gang-rape. The police, along with investigative reporter Julie Adams, were anxious to press charges. But when the teenaged victim, Lyndsey Barratt, disappeared from her hospital bed soon after the incident, the boys never answered for their crime. Or so it seemed until now.Adams reopens the case, the most titillating and psychologically disturbing of her career. Working sometimes with, and sometimes in competition with, policeman Frank Illiffe, Adams relies on her instincts to determine the connections between the women, the casualties, and the long-ago heinous crime.
