The Stalker's Apprentice

When Marcus Walwyn sees Karen Scott on the train to work, he decides that she will be his. While working at a publisher's, where Marcus works as a book editor, a particular manuscript lands on his desk that immediately catches his eye. Unknown to Marcus, the book is drafted by convicted serial killer, Helmut Kranze (James Bolam, Cold Feet), under a pseudonym. Driven crazy with obsession, Marcus becomes quickly corrupted by the book, embarking on a murderous mission not only relating to Karen Scott but also a subsequent police investigation lead by D.I. Maurice Burt (Peter Davison, Gentleman Jack), commander of the local police force. (Movie, 1998)
