The Beast: The Midlands Letters

Описание: A sinister, disturbing handwritten letter arrives into Garda HQ. It has been sent anonymously to a school in the midlands. There are 23 pages, promising terrible crimes to come, and detailing the writer’s twisted plans to abduct and kill teenage girls.


Soon after, two more arrive – again sent to schools across the Irish midlands. Gardai then realise this is not their first encounter with the anonymous writer, as they discover records of a strange hideout found in the woods in Offaly many years ago. More letters arrive, sent to Garda stations and found by members of the public.


Fear spreads as the writer goes further and begins naming potential targets, all teenage girls at a local Offaly school. Gardai now face a race against time to find him, before he can put his evil plans into action.


As part of our launch week of Lines of Enquiry we are releasing two episodes this week, including this one. From next week we will release weekly, every Tuesday morning.
