Synopsis This police procedural is the fourth installment in the set of mysteries that inspired the British TV series THE WIRE IN THE BLOOD. Detective Chief Inspector Carol Jordan of the Bradfield Metropolitan Police once again teams with criminal psychologist Dr. Tony Hill, now working at Bradfield Moor Secure Hospital, to catch the killer of two prostitutes. The murderer's method mirrors that of Derek Tyler, an inmate of Bradfield Moor; however, Hill feels certain that this is no copycat killer. But if that's true, how could the locked-up Tyler be responsible?
