Three years ago Bella, a former hunt saboteur and ethnobotanist, was paralysed in an 'accident' with a 4x4 driven by a hunt follower of the Forest Hounds, and Chris Prowse, besotted with her, made it his doomed mission to continue her fight against animal cruelty. His mutilated body was discovered in the New Forest. This is just the first murder to shatter the peaceful forest. The sinister and enigmatic Egin Holt, a dog fight organiser known as the 'Stakeholder', calls on Gabe Swatton, a brilliant psychology undergraduate and reluctant member of a dysfunctional family committed to hunting, to arrange a special dog fight session in the forest. Holt wants to boost dog fighting in the south. Gabe's father, Baz, and brother Zack, both terrier men for the local hunt, own two pit bulls - the Devil's Dogs - which they intend to fight. Gabe needs the money in order to escape his toxic family, and take his abused brother with him, and he will do anything to accomplish this. He eagerly sets about arranging the fight, anticipating that he could make enough money for him and Zack to leave. With the discovery of a beheaded badger corpse, DCI Paul Draper and his team based at the Lyndhurst station in the New Forest become aware of the brutal underworld of dog fighting in their midst and the psychopathic adherents attracted by it. The fanatical commitment of dog fighters is matched only by Bella's determination to have her revenge, both for herself and for Chris Prowse. She devises a plan which sets in motion terrible consequences, intended and otherwise.
