Thriller Police Procedural | Mystery Woman Sleuth
When an expert on fairy tales is called in to consult on
the investigation of bizarre murders, her premonition and
insight causes suspicion; she must solve the case--and
fast--to prove her innocence. Alice Hyland is an expert on fairy tales--lecturing on the
well-known stories and their lesser-known variants--and
the natural choice for Police Constable Cate Corbin to
consult when a dead girl is found in the woods dressed up
as Snow White. Especially when the girl's grieving mother
receives a parcel containing a glass bottle of blood
stoppered with the dead girl's toe. Cate's boss, Detective
Superintendent Heath, isn't convinced of the connection to
folklore until a second girl is found, this time dressed
as Red Riding Hood and with claw marks gouged into her
flesh, like a wolf had been at her. As she dives deeper into the case, Alice beings to sense a
supernatural pull connecting her to the murders. A series
of uncanny events seem to be pointing her in the right
direction, but she's not the only one noticing; By the
time a third girl is found in the local castle, Heath
begins to wonder if their fairy tale expert knows too
much, and Alice finds herself no longer an asset, but a
suspect. But she can't stop following the clues, and her
determination to solve the mystery herself and prove her
innocence may lead her somewhere she can't return from.
