- A police officer is killed while responding to a domestic disturbance call. When DCI Alan Banks is called to investigate the grisly scene, he discovers it's the home of a serial rapist and murderer.
- Two police officers are called to an apparent domestic where they find Lucy Payne unconscious. Investigating a noise in the cellar they are attacked by her husband Marcus, who kills one of them with a machete before the other, Janet Taylor, knocks him out and he is arrested. D.C.I. Alan Banks comes to the house and finds the corpses of four missing blonde girls, though there is no sign of Leanne Wray, who also disappeared. The case is hampered when, due to an interfering hospital doctor perturbed that Janet put Payne in a coma, Alan is shadowed by annoying D.S. Annie Cabbot from the Professional Standards Department. Lucy, a frequent victim of her husband's violence, cannot help trace Leanne, being unaware that her husband was a mass killer and also unaware that he was having sex with Maggie, the concerned neighbour who wanted her to leave him and who called the police to the Paynes' house. After a chilly first meeting Annie suggests to Alan that they have a drink together and he agrees to, whilst wondering if she is using him for career advancement. Just as they are getting cosy, they get the call to say that Payne has died. Now there is nobody able to locate Leanne.—don @ minifie-1
- Over a period of several months, five young women, all blond, have disappeared- presumably kidnapped. The police get a major break in the case when two PCs investigate a reported domestic incident. They find a woman, Lucy Payne, unconscious in the hallway and in the basement find her husband Marcus Payne who attacks them, killing one. The second officer, PC Janet Taylor, subdues Payne and arrests him though he is badly beaten and in a coma. They also find four of the five missing girls, all dead. Not found at the scene is the fifth girl, Leanne Wray. Banks is frustrated by the fact that he can't question the comatose suspect and certainly isn't too keen when an officer from professional services, DS Annie Cabot, is assigned to investigate whether PC Taylor used excessive force in arresting Payne.—garykmcd
