The Pit

The justice system couldn't stop them. Now, someone else will.

A petty thief named Reg Wilson is found gruesomely dismembered, his remains packed into seven plastic boxes and left at a derelict farm. The box containing his head holds a cryptic, chilling message: "I've saved you all £5,500, you're welcome.".

DCI Seamus Corrigan, a detective struggling to cope with a collapsing marriage and the trauma of a botched past operation, is assigned the case. He quickly realizes this isn't a random act of violence—it's a message, and the murder is too meticulous for a typical criminal.

Meanwhile, Adrian Burch is a mild-mannered IT contractor who works for the local police force. Disgusted by the revolving door of justice and the way persistent repeat offenders waste taxpayer money and police resources, Adrian decides to take matters into his own hands. Using his unrestricted access to the Police National Computer, Adrian creates a system to target repeat offenders.

His method: abduction, followed by permanent imprisonment in The Pit—a deep, disused slurry pit on an abandoned farm.

As more offenders begin to vanish, DCI Corrigan races against time to find the link between the murder and the missing men. He must hunt a vigilante who is literally hiding in plain sight, a cold-blooded killer who can predict the police's every move and erase his own tracks.

The hunter and the hunted are on a collision course but who will come out on top?
