Samantha Robins was the Intelligence Manager on the Major Crime Team at Surrey Police in May 2010 when, late in the evening, the call came in: a young mother had been murdered in her home.
What followed was a multi-pronged inquiry.
Sarah Thomas was a 38-year-old mother of three who was found in her flat in a quiet English village.
Her boyfriend raised the alarm - and was arrested.
But when it became clear he was not responsible for Sarah’s death, suspicion passed to a dark character with an horrific criminal record.
As the inquiry moved through the gears and a major manhunt was begun, detectives started leaning heavily on Samantha and her team of analysts which was sifting through the influx of sightings and clues.
* Who was Sarah’s killer?
* Why had he murdered her?
* Where had he been spotted?
And when the full history of the killer’s criminal record became known, the manhunt became a race against time.
