The perpetrator, gloved and masked, had gained access to the victim's apartment and was there with a cameraman, standing over her, when she woke in her bedroom. When the video appears on UTube with the legend that it shows her \"salvation,\" the shame of it drives her to suicide. The second case involving the same M.O. has left a friend of the rape victim murdered at the scene, and that brings in the team from Special Investigations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Forced by their superiors to combine efforts, with Sherry in the lead, Mislan struggles to rein in his maverick impulses. But the video of the second assault is posted online and then still another makes the news, leading to mounting public alarm. With pressure from above to close the case quickly, the two inspectors have no choice but to find the way to work together and uncover the trail that will lead them to the shadowy figure who calls himself the Emancipatist.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“Noor, himself a veteran of the Malaysian police force, makes the plot twists plausible and his characters true to life.
