On a cold morning in central London, Doctor Meredith Shaw awakens on what soon becomes her worst nightmare come to life. When a young woman is discovered murdered in an alley, Shaw is called in to confirm the MO of a serial killer only known as 'Hummingbird', who has been in hiding for 6 years. With the wary realisation that Hummingbird has returned weighing on their minds, Shaw and her associate DCI Leon Burke embark on a case lead by the dead ends and puzzles left behind from the old files.

With past grievances driving Shaw to her limits, her tactics of playing into Hummingbird's hand seem a dangerous attempt to beat him at his own game. But after a year of terror and a sudden six year absence, Shaw is determined to find out why he has come back at all, and to finally discover the truth about Hummingbird's identity.

Deeming her the only one up to the challenge, Hummingbird tasks Shaw not only with solving the ultimate puzzle, but what place she holds in his ever-changing game.

37 parts Complete Mature
"In the heart of bustling, eerie London, a malevolent killer lurks in the shadows, targeting the vulnerable and those with scores to settle. For Detective George Reynolds, his initiation into the area-wide murder task force under the guidance of DS Michael Dalton takes a nightmarish turn. His first case is far from the seamless transition he had hoped for. The horrors they uncover are steeped in the supernatural, as an ancient Kanaima demon, unleashed from an Egyptian relic, wreaks havoc on the city. George is torn between the impending 'blood moon,' heralding his transformation into a werewolf, and the relentless evil that seeks to drench London's streets in blood. Guided by DS Michael Dalton, he must untangle the enigmatic threads connecting the first lifeless body beneath the Union Canal Bridge to a string of gruesome murders. But George soon discovers that the demon not only possesses an unwitting host but also answers to a sadistic puppeteer hungry for revenge. George's initiation into this hidden world is a baptism by fire, plunging him into the grip of his first blood moon and awakening his dormant demon side. Amidst the chaos, he forges a sizzling connection with Ellena Walker, the brilliant forensic pathologist, igniting a second chance at love. Prepare for a spine-tingling journey into the heart of darkness, where love and horror intertwine with a chilling supernatural serial killer case. As George races against time, you won't see the true killer coming until he connects the dots. 'Murder on the Waterway' will keep you guessing, challenging the depths of darkness lurking in the shadows of our very streets."

At least it was until aspiring detective George Reynolds came lucid from another blackout. Blood pools tantalisingly across the floor and there's two bullet holes in the wall. His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue. It's a dangerous game, from a lifetime of planning, rigged to make George look guilty and force him to remember what he really is and what he went through as a child. A pure born werewolf. Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again. Made to relive the past trauma of a tragic fire that took the lives of the family that tortured him. Bodies continue to fall, all framed to fit the murderous narrative of an elaborate plot for revenge. When he finally remembers, when he's finally broken, another unique side to George wakes. So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted.
