Deputy Inspector Sean Corrigan is called to a gruesome
murder scene in the early morning hours. His unit is in
charge of violent deaths that occur in London. Corrigan's
shattered upbringing gives him insight into the criminal
mind that other investigators just don't possess. At the
scene, he finds a forensically clean loft; this killer is
very, very careful.
As DI Corrigan's department investigates this killing, they
are led to James Hellier, a successful businessman in the
world of finance. Corrigan doesn't have enough evidence to
hold Hellier, but is almost positive he is the one. Further
investigation leads Corrigan to believe Hellier also killed
a young woman a few weeks prior. The MOs are not the same,
but that crime scene was forensically clean, as well. When
a third similar crime is committed, Corrigan is certain he
has Hellier nailed this time, but further evidence makes
Corrigan question whether James Hellier really is the
serial killer. And is Hellier really who he says he is?
