  • After a farmer is found dead on his kitchen floor, everyone on the property becomes a suspect in a complicated investigation that leads to a shocking discovery.

  • The midnight murder of a snow plowman puts his friends on edge as their tiny town struggles to root out the culprit; police find a clue on the victim's forehead that may be the killer's calling card.

  • Killers murder an adrenaline-junkie young father, and detectives sift through tales of illegal chicken fighting, drag racing, cheating, and a mysterious figure nicknamed "The Witch Doctor."

  • For a year, NYPD follows a bloody trail of murder attempts against a real estate entrepreneur, only to discover that no one is who they seem; the victim has ties to a mob family, and the mastermind is closer than they realized.

  • The assassination of a computer genius sends detectives on a two-decade hunt for missing gold, uncovers a shocking link to a Saudi sheik, and exposes a deadly international scheme that claims another life.

  • A gunman executes three mechanics in a sleepy Connecticut town; detectives scrape for evidence and uncover a world of chatrooms, embezzlement, an illicit love affair, and three families of potential suspects.
