Hangman

The game begins in Seattle, where a hanged woman is found with one leg missing. Then in Vancouver, a corpse is found with both legs missing. The clue that binds these horrific crimes together is a game of "Hangman" crudely drawn at each location – painted in the victim's blood.

The vitims, it seems, were jurors on a controversial case years ago, in which a man was sentenced to death – by hanging. Two cops on both sides of the border – Canadian detective Zinc Chandler and American detective Maddy Thorne – are up against a killer whose every move means death. To stop him, they must solve the riddle of the hangman – before the madman makes his final, murderous move... and wins the game.
