The Fall

Ten days after serial killer Paul Spector absconded to Scotland, the investigation into his crimes has stalled. Surviving victim Annie Brawley struggles to recall details about her ordeal, and Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson is running out of time and money to continue the search for Spector.

Paul abducts Rose Stagg, the woman he assaulted in college, in retaliation for her cooperating with the police. When Rose misses her appointment at the station, Gibson worries that she has endangered Rose. Meanwhile, Paul meets with Annie Brawley in his capacity as a grief counselor.

Having identified Spector as the prime suspect, Gibson and her team set about tracing his tracks and trying to connect him to the murders. Spector finds an unlikely ally and undertakes some highly risky reconnaissance.

Still reeling from the invasion of her hotel room, Gibson catches a break when she discovers that Spector is Annie Brawley’s grief counselor. She finally locates Spector and puts him under surveillance, but the discovery of a dead woman’s body could deal a heavy blow.

As the police investigation closes in on him, Spector decides to destroy evidence and flee the country. When an old enemy disrupts his plans, Gibson and her team make their move.

The police interrogate Spector in custody, but he refuses to cooperate. In the end, Gibson must confront Spector herself if she has any hope of finding Rose Stagg before it’s too late.
