For fourteen years, a man described as looking like ‘a Ghoul’ terrorised a huge area across the North and East Midlands of England. Detectives thought he was behind at least seven attacks on women.

In one case, he even superglued his victim’s eyes shut so she wouldn’t see him.

He was forensically-aware and left few clues at the attack-sites.

Desperate, three forces combined to run Operation Lynx. And they hired Dr Kim Rossmo who was a mathematician-turned-cop from Vancouver.

How could the new science he was developing - Geographic profiling - catch The Ghoul?
