Two British schoolgirls are raped and one of them murdered by a psychopath, and when one of the girl's teachers catches a glimpse of the killer, she agrees to be set up as bait to catch him. A decent little thriller with some good suspense but the red herrings are very obvious. Lacks the style of Italian giallos and the ending is so sudden that it's almost anticlimactic.
