Synopses

Eeny Meeny

A girl stumbles from the woods barely alive, with a story that seems impossible but is true. Soon another escapee is found and a pattern emerges: victims are taken in pairs, imprisoned, and forced to choose between killing or being killed. Helen Grace leads the hunt, learning that the survivors may hold the key.

Pop Goes the Weasel

A man is found dead in an empty house, his heart removed and delivered to his family. Helen Grace believes he is only the first, and questions why a seemingly happily married man was so far from home at night. The media describe a killer targeting family men with secret double lives, and Helen senses the fury driving the murders.

The Doll's House

A young woman wakes in a cold, dark cellar with no idea how she got there or who took her. Nearby, another young woman is found buried on a remote beach, despite her family receiving regular texts over the years. Helen Grace faces evidence of a killer who is twisted, clever and resourceful, and realises she is in a race against time.

Liar Liar

Three raging fires light up the night sky, and Helen Grace suspects more than coincidence. The flames signal the arrival of an evil she has not encountered before: careful, calculating acts of murder. As fear and suspicion spread, questions mount over why the victims were chosen and who will be next.

Little Boy Blue

Called to a Southampton nightclub, Helen Grace cuts away duct tape from an asphyxiated victim and discovers she knows him. Connected to a double life she has kept hidden from her superiors, she is determined to find the murderer while keeping their relationship secret. With another victim found, Helen works to stop everything unravelling as the case closes in.

Hide and Seek

Helen Grace has spent her life running and hiding, until she is framed for murder and becomes a high-profile prisoner. Inside HMP Holloway, she faces hostility from inmates and guards alike. When a carefully mutilated body is discovered in a locked cell, she must find a ruthless serial killer before the killer finds her.
