'Manhunt: The Night Stalker' is a Thrilling and Absorbing Sequel

The second season of critically acclaimed crime drama Manhunt, now subtitled The Night Stalker, stars Martin Clunes as DI Colin Sutton in the story of another real-life case, drawing from Sutton's own memoirs, about the crimes of a serial rapist that occupied the London police for almost two decades.

Over a period of seventeen years, southeast London was terrorized by cases of housebreaking, robbery, and sexual assault, identical enough in their procedures and rituals to be attributed to one suspect. The Night Stalker, also known as the Minstead Man, is careful, meticulous, patient, and observant.

He leaves trademark reminders behind - household knickknacks lined up against an outside wall, lightbulbs removed and placed in a sink, disabled motion sensors. He wears a dark hoodie and sweats, and his face has never been captured on CCTV. His targets are always the elderly living alone, mostly women.
