When a popular local vet is murdered in an identical fashion, Wesley wonders what the two men could possibly have in common. Meanwhile Wesley's friend Neil Watson is alarmed when he begins receiving disturbing anonymous letters writing in gory detail about macabre events at a medieval abbey; Neil fears that his letters are being sent by the killer. Wesley's investigation takes an unexpected twist when both a third body and a skeleton are found, the latter possibly belonging to a sex offender who disappeared 20 years before.
