- The police are investigating two deaths. DI Alembic and DC Frank Connor looks into the death of Vernon Duffy who was found tied to a tree and shot. Duffy was a sex offender who had recently been freed on a technicality when the courts ruled the main evidence against was obtained illegally. When they find that all but one of the shells found at the scene were blanks, she concludes that he was executed by a firing squad. DS Stone and DC Alison Bain investigate the death of 17-year old Bethany Williams who bled to death in the corridors at her school. It has all of the hallmarks of a suicide, but there is sufficient evidence for the police to treat this as a suspicious death. As the investigation continues, Susan and Luke find a connection between their two cases.—garykmcd
- A 17-year-old head girl is found dead at her school and it looks like suicide, but DS Luke Stone thinks otherwise. The case is further complicated when he discovers she was pregnant. DI Susan Alembic finds herself dealing with the murder of an acquitted rapist and suspicion falls on the victim's husband. The only problem is he has a rock solid alibi. Stone and Alembic's cases soon become related with a teacher from the school the link, but will he lead them to either of the murderers?—Anonymous
