Detective Chief Inspector Derek Williams and his team at Gloucestershire CID, have been trying to track down a serial killer terrorizing Cheltenham Town for several months. They know it is only a matter of time before the killer, who they believe is a woman, will strike again, but they don’t know where, when or who.
Will they be able to stop her before she claims another innocent victim?
During their investigations they stumble across some other dirty dealings, tax evasion and drug running. The police combine forces to take them down, but will it all go to plan?

Tonight the moon was bright, so even though most of the pathway lights that encircled the park had been vandalized, it was easy for Brian to see a good way ahead.
He was nearing the middle of the park before she stepped out from behind the shadows of the bushes that lined part of the walk. She was quite tall in her high heels, she wasn’t one that he had used before, so he was looking her up and down, feeling excited at the thought of having sex with a new girl.
As he stepped up to her, he could see the smile on her face, the bright red lipstick, the long blonde hair, the short fur coat above the very short skirt and the fishnet stockings on her long legs.
He started to ask how much it was going to cost him….but all he managed to say was
‘Hey babe, how mu…….aghh!’
At that moment all he saw was a glint of something shiny flash across his midriff, and then he was sinking to his knees. His intestines and inners were spilling out of his white shirt, just as though someone had opened a zip fastener to allow the contents to be ejected.
As he crumpled to the ground, kneeling in the pool of blood and offal that was quickly leaving his body, his hands as if automatic, clutched at the gaping wound above the belt on his jeans.
He managed to raise his head to look at his attacker as she stood over him, looking down and smiling at him, seemingly pleased with her work. She was smiling while humming a tune he thought he recognized, as she calmly pushed him backwards with the sole of her foot against his shoulder so that he was laid out flat on his back.
Strangely enough he was in no pain now, but felt as though he were in the middle of a dream. Everything seemed to be in slow motion. Surreal.
