For five years, the remains of a young woman lie undisturbed in dark woodland on the outskirts of Birmingham. The gold necklace round her neck reads ‘ Molly ’.

Now, watching the post-mortem, forensic psychologist Kate Hanson knows in a heartbeat that she’s looking at Molly Elizabeth James. She was only eighteen when she disappeared from a shopping centre in Solihull.

DCI Bernie Watts’ team unearths more long-buried bodies in the area. Kate realises they’re dealing with a serial killer. One who abducted young women, torturing them for days before finally killing them.

It’s up to Kate to work out why . She must dive deep into the twisted mind of the killer to anticipate their next move.

Then another young woman’s body is found. It’s a fresh kill. Same MO.

This cold case just got hot.
