Nine Lives

The Killer’s modus operandi was the same in each instance: strangulation always with a guitar string pulled tight from behind until life is extinct. And though the murders are taking place up and down the country there is one other similarity that Inspector Wilkins can’t help noticing: each and every victim is a psychotherapist. Donald Dorricks is on a mission. Nine psychotherapists to go and his crusade is over. Yet even after giving himself up and confessing to the killings he still protests his innocence. And just as Inspector Wilkins struggles to catch the killer Dorricks’ wife Verine attempts to understand the reasoning behind the murders.
