Cold Sacrifice

Detective Ian Peterson must face a challenging murder case in his hometown of Kent when three bodies are found, leading to the realization that a dangerous killer is at large. With Detective Geraldine Steel unavailable, Ian is forced to lead the investigation on his own.

The first victim, Martha, was brutally stabbed in a local park, but it is her husband who initially becomes the prime suspect. However, after a prostitute reveals his alibi for the night of the murder, she is found dead in her apartment.

As the police scramble for evidence and attempt to establish a connection between the victims, a second prostitute is also killed. Ian and his new partner, Polly Mortimer, struggle to make sense of the case and catch the killer before he strikes again. But as the truth becomes clear, it may be too late to save Polly.
