He will come for them, one by one...Five shocking murders

Twenty-five years ago, DCI Harry Rhimes arrested Andrew Streeter for the brutal murders of five young people. Streeter's "kill list" of victims was found in his home, and he was convicted of all five crimes.

A hunt for a killer

Henley and her team reopen the original murder cases, but they must put their personal feelings to one side. Because the real killer is still out there, and he's working his way through a new kill list...
