DCI Sutton is asked to review the long-running inquiry into a notorious serial rapist.

Fresh off his success catching a headline-grabbing killer, DCI Colin Sutton is on the brink of retirement when he’s asked to review the long-running inquiry into another infamous predator. Known as “The Night Stalker” to the press and “Minstead Man” to the police, this serial rapist has stalked the elderly of Southeast London for nearly two decades. Many at the Metropolitan Police view the inquiry as a poisoned chalice: high-profile but unsolvable crimes sure to sully Sutton’s career at its pinnacle. Despite that risk, Colin can’t help but commit himself to the investigation. Inspired by insights from his wife, a police data analyst, Colin applies a new approach to the case, hoping to crack it open at last and end the attacker’s 17-year reign of terror.
