Ein feuchtes Grab im schottischen Moor. Eine Serienmörderin hinter Gittern. Ein Nachahmungstäter oder ein perfides Spiel der verurteilten Killerin? Vor zwölf Jahren fasste DI Monica Kennedy die Serienkillerin Pauline Tosh. Es war ihr erster großer Fall. Vergessen von der Welt, sitzt die Mörderin seitdem hinter Gittern. Die Morde hat sie nie gestanden. Als DI Kennedy eine Nachricht erhält, dass Tosh um ein Treffen bittet, ist die Kommissarin entsprechend überrascht. Sie gibt ihrer Neugier nach und stattet der Inhaftierten einen Besuch ab. Diese übergibt der Polizistin eine handgezeichnete Karte von einem abgelegenen Moorgebiet mit einem Kreuz darauf. Gibt es etwa noch mehr Opfer? DI Kennedy geht dem neuen Hinweis nach und findet tatsächlich eine Leiche. Doch schnell stellt sich heraus, dass Tosh zum Todeszeitpunkt des Opfers ein absolut wasserdichtes Alibi hat. Woher aber wusste die Serienmörderin von der vergrabenen Leiche und läuft etwa ein weiterer, unbekannter Täter noch frei herum?
