What is Suspect series 2 about?

Following the events of the first series, Dr Susannah Newman (Anne-Marie Duff) takes centre stage in a desperate hunt for a serial killer.

When Dr Susannah’s new client Jon (Dominic Cooper) admits under hypnosis that he is a murderer with intentions to kill again, Susannah realises she must stop him.

However, Jon escapes, and the police – headed by her ex lover Detective Superintendent Richard Grove (Ben Miller) – aren’t interested. It’s up to Susannah to save Jon’s intended victim, Sapphire, the way she couldn’t save her own daughter.
