Rogue Killer

As a killer terrorizes the city, striking with brazen confidence, the police find themselves racing against time to stop the bloodshed. With clear DNA evidence at their fingertips, it should be a straightforward investigation, but the powers that be dismiss the deaths as mere muggings gone wrong, with a gang of youths becoming the prime suspects.

Detective Sergeant Geraldine Steel's intuition tells her there's something more sinister at play. While her colleagues dismiss her theories, Geraldine is determined to uncover the truth.

As the body count rises, each falling victim to seemingly indiscriminate attacks, the net tightens around the muggers, leading to a gripping showdown with devastating consequences. But even as justice is seemingly served, the true killer still lurks in the shadows, evading capture.

With time not on her side, Geraldine Steel embarks on a relentless pursuit of justice, tracking down a crucial witness who may hold the key to solving the case. However, danger lurks around every corner, and Geraldine soon realizes that her own life is in peril.
