What Is Ragdoll About?

After six people were murdered, dismembered, and sewn into one grotesque body known as the Ragdoll, Detective Sergeant Nathan Rose, Detective Investigator Emily Baxter, Detective Chief Inspector Terrence Simmons, and new recruit Detective Constable Lake Edmunds are put on the case of solving the tragic and twisted murders. The killer begins to taunt the police by sending a list of their next victims, putting their investigation under a highly scrutinized microscope.
