La quinta víctima

Synopsis of La quinta víctima

In the dizzying sequel to 'The Fourth Monkey', J.D. Barker immerses us in a new wave of chilling crimes, exploring the past of Anson Bishop. The FBI has removed Porter and his team from the case of Anson Bishop, the killer of 'The Fourth Monkey'. However, they soon face a new series of murders. After being missing for three weeks, the body of Ella Reynolds appears in a pond in Jackson Park, although the water froze months ago. In addition, she is wearing the clothes of another young woman who disappeared just two days ago. Porter and his team begin to reconstruct the clues of this new case and, at the same time, in secret, Porter follows Anson's trail. When his superiors discover this, Porter is suspended from his duties while Clair and Nash search for the lake killer. Anson's trail will take Porter from Chicago to New Orleans and South Carolina. At every step he takes, Anson seems to be manipulating events, always one step ahead, and Porter realizes that the only place darker than the mind of a serial killer is that of the mother who gave him life.
