"Arresting" - Wall Street Journal
Detective Inspector Dave Creegan (Robson Green, Reckless), his partner D.I. Susan Taylor (Nicola Walker, Four Weddings and a Funeral), and the Organized Serial Crime (OSC) Unit are called in to investigate the suspicious deaths of three London hospital patients, all killed within hours of each other by a drug that none had been prescribed.
Again, the clues are few and enigmatic: Each victim sports a patch of bare skin with a faint outline of "Let me go" tattooed upon it - and each was treated by Dr. Elizabeth Walker (Kika Mrkham), an outspoken advocate of euthanasia. Under questioning from Creegan and Taylor, Walker admits to having partially erased on of the messages, which, she says, actually read "Let me go back."
The case cuts too close to the bone for Creegan, who, having survived a bullet to the head, is painfully reminded of his own near-death experience. Investigating further, Creegan confirms that all three victims had at one time clinically died and were subsequently resuscitated. Certain that he and the killer, like the victims, share in common a "trip to the other side," Creegan sets a seductive trap only to find himself ensnared.
