Synopsis

They know she killed them. They've just never known why.
Connie Cross was a trusted pharmacy assistant when she was arrested for the gruesome murders of at least seven strangers.

Now, she's serving a whole-life order for the shocking crimes she refuses to explain.

Olivia Lang never forgot Connie, the awkward teenager from a south London estate she first met while working for the police.

Twenty years later, Olivia is desperate to understand what made Connie turn into a murderer.

But as she begins to uncover the truth about the UK's most notorious female serial killer, Olivia risks revealing secrets she's kept hidden for years . . .
