Paired with the sharp and compelling DCI Hope, Dr Gregory begins to unravel a chilling case where each murder seems more theatrical than the last. But as the bodies mount and ghosts from his past resurface, Gregory grows increasingly suspicious: are all these deaths really the work of one killer? Or is there something more sinister at play?
