SUMMARY
Police Detective Pia Kirchhoff is about to leave on her
honeymoon when she receives a phone call. An elderly woman
has been shot and killed while walking her dog. A short
while later another murder is committed and the modus
operandi is eerily similar - a woman is killed by a bullet
that smashes through her kitchen window ... and in both
cases the same weapon fired the shot. Two more murders follow in short order. None of the victims
had enemies and no one knows why they were singled out. As
fear grows among the local residents, the pressure rises on
Detective Kirchhoff. She and her partner Oliver von
Bodenstein search for a suspect who appears to murder at
will ... but as the investigation progresses, the police
officers uncover a human tragedy.
