Someone
- a woman or somebody pretending to be a woman
- is writing to convicted rapists in prison befriending them & then brutally killing them when they are released. DI Tom Thorne must discover the link between these killings & a murder/suicide that took place twenty-five years before; a tragedy to which the only witnesses were two small children now adults & nowhere to be found... How can you escape a past that will do a lot more than just catch up with you? & how can Thorne catch a killer when he doesnt really care about the victims?
