Wire in the Blood

With a serial killer on the loose, DI Carol Jordan calls in clinical psychologist Dr. Tony Hill for help with the investigation, despite objections from her superiors. When a cop becomes the next victim, the case turns personal.

Tony and Carol reunite when the years-old corpse of a teenage girl is found. Carol is also pulled into investigating hate-mail sent to a popular TV personality couple, Jack and Amanda Vance. After a murder at the Vances’ house, Tony becomes convinced that the two cases are connected.

Carol investigates the death of a young woman found strangled in the woods with the number “2” attached to her body. The case bears similarities to the previous murder of 11-year-old Trudy Hibbert, but Tony doesn’t think they are related.

While Tony and Carol search for the killer of a young Dutch nurse, the best friend of one of Tony’s students goes missing. Meanwhile, Tony gets closer to discovering where his child-killer patient, Maggie, buried her victims.

The 500-year-old skeleton of a girl is discovered at a new hotel site, but forensics show that the corpse was recently moved. The case becomes even more perplexing when the bodies of a young couple are found buried underneath it.

Carol and Tony investigate a brutal murder that bears the hallmarks of another killing that occurred three months earlier, but the man convicted of that crime is behind bars. Did he escape prison to kill again, or was he wrongly accused?
