The body of a young male victim poses a riddle. Was he killed by the physical beating he sustained? By the strangulation he apparently suffered? Or by the gunshot wound to his head? And why would all three methods be necessary?
It's not a mugging, and nor does the victim have criminal connections. Perhaps it was a crime of passion... But when a second victim is found who's mysteriously linked to the first only by the presence of skin under his fingernails, the answer seems to be that the two young men had no connection other than in death. One victim killed the other. But who killed the survivor?
As more victims emerge, Dr Tony Hill (Robson Green, pictured) begins to piece together a bizarre chain of attacks in which killer becomes victim... And the gun in each case apparently belongs to the same person - an illegal dogfight promoter who claims the weapon was stolen some time ago.
Tony is so caught up in the case that he fails to respond quickly enough when secure unit patient Michael, the cannibal killer Tony helped to convict, drops a hint that he's planning to escape. Michael claims to have discovered God, and Tony is naturally sceptical, but when Michael kills the prison chaplain and escapes using the man's clothes as disguise, Tony feels angry about his own failure to read the signs of danger clearly enough.
Meanwhile someone is stalking local young widowed mother Ellie. And an Asian victim is found who hasn't fought or been strangled. It seems that the killer is only interested in white youths... Does this signify sexual preference? Or something more complex? When Tony realises that the killer's dark intentions go beyond murder and aren't limited to young men, the chase is on to catch him before he enacts the next stage of his violent plan.
And then there's Michael... he's out there somewhere and has Tony in his sights.
