Synopses

Cat & Mouse

A serial killer known as “The Gentleman Caller” draws detective Alex Cross into a deadly contest. As the body count rises, Cross must use every resource to outmanoeuvre the killer and protect those close to him, amid twists and sustained suspense.

Love me Not

Detective Helen Grace investigates a series of killings in Southampton that appear unconnected, except for a message left at each scene: “Love Me Not.” Racing to find the link between the murders, she uncovers secrets and lies that threaten everything she holds dear.

Truth or Dare

A group of friends gather for a weekend away and begin a game of Truth or Dare. What starts as light-hearted quickly becomes dangerous as secrets surface, trust breaks down, and it becomes clear someone is playing for far higher stakes.

Down to the Woods

Helen Grace is called to the New Forest after a woman’s body is found in the woods. As she investigates, she uncovers brutal murders that appear tied to a sinister presence, while facing a killer who stays one step ahead.

All Fall Down

A deadly virus spreads through a small town, triggering panic as the area is placed under quarantine and suspicion falls on everyone. A journalist pursues the truth behind the outbreak, risking her life to expose a conspiracy that reaches beyond the town.
