DCI Sutton is tasked with reviewing a 17-year ongoing serial rape case, Operation Minstead.
Colin presents his review findings to DCS Hamish Campbell and suggests a strategy called 'Minstead Lite', but Hamish wants Colin to stay on to see this new approach through. Meanwhile, DC Spier's informant suggests that she has found one of the pieces of jewelry that was stolen from a Minstead victim.
With absolutely no guarantee it will work, the Force Tasking Group have to come to a decision about funding Colin's high stakes gamble. Meanwhile, the news of a new and very vicious attack on an elderly lady makes the team all the more determined to catch their prey.
The team are losing morale: it's highly unlikely Minstead Man will appear again after such a close call, and the surveillance may be cut short before they can catch their culprit.
