But he's also got a secret. Howard Bradshaw is a serial killer, responsible for a string of unsolved murders in the town of Hillsboro, Illinois - a town with a history of killings that stretches a long way back already. He's always been careful, never taking anybody who could be linked back to him, but when his new boss, Kathryn Morton, pushes him a little too far, can he control his instincts? Or will she be his undoing?
