S3E13 The Lipstick Killer

Jan 07, 1984 Season 3 Episode 13 Drama, Crime

After a nurse is brutally murdered, Hooker and his team dive into the investigation, which is part of a disturbing resurgence of similar killings from years past. The killer has a chilling trademark: sending a rose to the intended victim before each attack. With the help of a veteran detective who uses a wheelchair and a renowned psychiatrist, Hooker uncovers clues indicating that the murderer, who always appears in vintage nurse attire, might actually be a man. Time is of the essence, as the evidence reveals they have less than 48 hours to apprehend the suspect before another victim is targeted.
