Als DI Anjelica Henley zu einem neuen Tatort gerufen wird, schwant ihr nichts Gutes: In einer kleinen Londoner Kirche wurde ein Pastor brutal ermordet. Während Henleys Team den Tatort genauer untersucht, entdecken sie in einem Nebenraum einen angeketteten, halbtoten jungen Mann. Henleys Bauchgefühl sagt ihr, dass der junge Mann nicht vom Mörder eingesperrt worden ist. Aber wer war es dann? Und warum wurde der Pastor ermordet? Henley sucht fieberhaft nach Antworten, aber stattdessen stößt sie nur auf immer mehr Leichen, die auf die gleiche Art zu Tode gequält wurden wie der junge Mann aus der Kirche. Haben Henley und die Serial Crimes Unit es etwa mit einem religiösen Serienmörder zu tun?

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 legacy under threat
Now, Streeter's convictions are being overturned, as new evidence implies the original investigation was corrupt. No one is more shocked that DI Henley. Because this case is personal; Rhimes was her old boss, and he's no longer alive to defend himself. But when the killings start up again, Henley must face the truth: Rhimes got it wrong twenty-five years ago.
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 . . .
