What I loved is that the motive behind the copycat killings is never clear. A true cat and mouse game ensues, with one serial killer up against another.

Eerie echoes of previous crimes lead Henley to question Peter Olivier, aka The Jigsaw Killer, who is currently serving a life sentence for a series of horrific murders. When body parts are found on the banks of the River Thames in Deptford, DI Angelica Henley is tasked with finding the killer.
