DCI Colin Sutton is tasked with reviewing Operation Minstead, an 11-year inquiry to catch the “Night Stalker,” a notorious serial rapist active in Southeast London.

Colin suggests a strategy called “Minstead Lite,” but DCS Campbell wants Colin to stay on to see the new approach through. Will Colin be able to deliver on his promises?

Colin sets about convincing the Force Tasking Group to fund his high-stakes gamble. Not only is it expensive, but there"s absolutely no guarantee it will work. As the surveillance operation begins, several frustrating near misses point to new clues but might also prompt Minstead Man to go to ground again.

The surveillance continues, but the team are losing morale: it"s unlikely Minstead Man will appear again after such a close call. With time running out and no sign of the Night Stalker, will they lose their chance to catch him, or will their perseverance pay off at last?
