The premise
Doctor Palmer, a former pathologist, wrote a fictional book based on his real cases. In the book, the madman gets caught, but in reality he is still uncaught. After the book is released, Palmer's editor is kidnapped. Palmer soon is sent a present containing a page of his book, and a bone from his editor. Together with the police, Palmer tries to find his editor, who might still be alive. In addition, his own son becomes one of the main suspects. Written by Julian Reischl
Horror Vault's take
When a former pathologist turns his grimly real casework into a bestselling thriller, the uncaught killer at the center of those cases decides to make the fiction uncomfortably personal. Rutger Hauer anchors this late-nineties crime horror as a man who must race against a sadistic adversary to save someone close to him — armed with little more than his own expertise and a mounting dread that he may have invited the nightmare himself. The investigation cuts close to home in ways Palmer never anticipated, blurring the line between the story he wrote and the horror unfolding around him.
