Synopses

Play Dead

Detective Kim Stone and her team find the fresh body of a young woman, suggesting a killer has used the perfect cover to hide a crime. A second girl is attacked and left for dead, drugged with soil forced into her mouth, pointing to a serial killer at work. As local reporter Tracy Frost disappears, the stakes rise further.

Blood Lines

A local drug addict is found murdered with an identical wound, and Kim believes she is facing the same killer. With little to connect the victims beyond the cold, calculated nature of their deaths, the case becomes increasingly difficult. Kim’s focus is threatened when she receives a chilling letter from Dr Alex Thorne, the sociopath she put behind bars.

Dead Souls

Human bones are uncovered during an archaeological dig, turning a Black Country field into a crime scene for Detective Kim Stone. As the remains are examined, it becomes clear the grave holds more than one victim. Bullet holes and animal traps mark the bodies, hinting at unimaginable horror.

Broken Bones

The murder of a young prostitute and the discovery of an abandoned baby on the same winter night launch a disturbing investigation for Detective Kim Stone. When three more sex workers are murdered in quick succession, the team realise a serial killer is targeting the vulnerable. Meanwhile, the search for the woman who left her newborn at the station takes a more sinister turn.
