To Murder and Create: A distinguished scientist involved in atomic weapons research is brutally murdered on Valentine's Day.

Suddenly more murders committed in a similar fashion are popping up around London. Are they connected to the scientist? Jericho and his team must race against the clock to catch their killer. The Hollow Men: As a smog envelops London, bringing the city to a standstill, a serial killer begins targeting courting couples.
