Need title of this film

[Danny]

This was a seventies or poss early eighties film about USA (or Canada)cops hunting a serial killer.
The killer was striking across a big row of apartment tower blocks - seemimgly at random so they couldn't get him

Eventually one of the cops realised the killer was using the tower blocks as a giant music score with the various murder scenes marking out a tune ( can't remember what tune it was), using this info they managed to lay a trap to get him - I thikn the female cop ended up as a victim herself

Ring any bells?

Looking at this post again it may have been a few years later cos am sure they were using computers in the murder hunt

I may have got confused cos of the longish hair on the men and 'Open University lecturer' clothes

Nick and Frank Starkey were both policemen. A scandal forced Nick to leave the force, now a serial killer has driven the police to take him back. A web that includes Frank's wife, bribery, and corruption all are in the background as Nick tries to uncover the secret of where the killer will strike next, and finally must lay a trap without the police.

Could it be this one.

Yes, somebody has found it!! -cheers Weeton

It says here that the tune I couldn't remember was Calendar Girl - always thought Neil Sedaka was a bit sinister looking!
