| Plot |
Clinical psychologist Dr. Tony Hill is asked to help police track down the brutal killer of three men in Bradfield. Detective Inspector Carol Jordan hopes his skill as a profiler will crack the case, but Tony's off-beat methods cause others to dismiss him. When a cop is killed, the pressure for results mounts. The police focus on the gay scene, while Tony is convinced the killer is sending a message on the body of his victim.
When two teenagers' bodies are pulled from a Northumberland lake, Dr. Tony Hill immediately suspects a multiple killer. In a seemingly unrelated incident, DI Carol Jordan is called to the home of popular talk show hosts Jack and Amanda Vance, who fear they are being stalked. As the dead girls are identified as suspected runaways, the attacks on the Vances escalate dramatically.
The abduction on an 11-year-old-girl and the strangulation of a young woman bring back memories of the murder of young Trudy Hibbert three years earlier. Known pedophile Paul Gregory was acquitted but police and locals fear he is killing again. Dr. Tony Hill is convinced the attacks bear the hallmarks of a different killer, until a bizarre link suggests more deaths will follow. |
