The Watcher

Moving to Chicago, he seeks psychiatric help from Dr Polly Beilman but then finds his past has come back to haunt him. The killer, David Allen Griffin, has tired of life in the sun and followed him to the Windy City. He taunts Campbell by sending him photographs of the next victim, giving the agent just 24 hours to find them before he kills them.
