Wire in the Blood

Tony tries to get close to a killer who is luring young children to their deaths before an abducted boy becomes the latest victim.

A murderer and former student of Tony's is released from prison and thrust willingly into the media spotlight; Tony believes that the man has not been rehabilitated and is still a danger to society.

Carol and Tony struggle to formulate a profile for the killer; Tony meets a woman who turns out to be more than he bargained for; Carol finds herself caught up in police politics and personal deception when she oversees a case review.

A sniper holds Bradfield under siege, picking off victims apparently at random; Carol feels the pressure as the media fuel public panic; Tony's eccentricity eventually gives him an understanding of the killer's psyche.
