The Metropole Hotel, Brighton. After a heady New Year’s Eve ball, a woman is brutally raped as she returns to her room. A week later, another woman is attacked. Both victims’ shoes are taken by the attacker. Detective Superintendent Roy Grace soon realized that these new cases bear remarkable similarities to an unsolved series of crimes the the city back in 1997. The perpetrator had been dubbed ‘Shoe Man’ and was believed to hae raped four women before murdering his fifth victim and vanishing. Could this be a copycat, or has Shoe Man resurfaced?
