George Marlow afsoner en livstidsdom for de bestialske mord på seks unge kvinder. Det var Jane Tennison, der fik ham sat bag lås og slå, men nu vækker to brutale kvindemord uhyggelige minder om Marlow-sagen. Er der en kopimorder på spil, eller har Jane sat en uskyldig mand bag tremmer?
Ein Déjà Vu der besonderen Art: Zwei Frauen wurden auf dieselbe Art und Weise ermordet wie Jahre zuvor sechs andere Opfer. Sitzt der damals Verurteilte zu Unrecht hinter Gittern oder will ein Trittbrettfahrer Tennison in die Irre führen?
Detective Jane Tennison is very happy in her relationship with Dr. Patrick Schofield. A series of murders takes place similar to those in Prime Suspect 1, if they are committed by the same person then Jane is faced with a possible miscarriage of justice as the man convicted of the previous murders George Marlow is still in prison. Jane is suspended from the case.
George always protested his innocence and a book has been written to help prove this. Jane discovers that Patrick has read the book and begins to wonder if Patrick is using her for his own research and feels betrayed.
Jane needs to discover for herself if George is really innocent or if these are copy-cat crimes, as she believes them to be.
La relation entre Jane Tennison et Patrick Schofield risque bien de subir les contrecoups d'une nouvelle affaire de meurtres qui débouche sur la suspension de Jane dans le cadre d'une enquête interne…
