- With DI Peter Pascoe away visiting his daughter and ex-wife in Florida, Det. Supt. Andy Dalziel investigates the murder of local solicitor David Brewer. At the request of an old friend, Sgt. Ted Lock, Andy makes his son, DS Mark Lock acting DI in Pascoe's absence. Brewer was found tied to a chair in his ransacked office and was severely beaten. The circumstances are virtually identical to a murder five years previously, one that Mark Lock had worked on. Brewer's wife Gillian was having an affair with local butcher Tom Piper and Andy is suspicious of a local doctor, Robert Silwood. It all becomes very complicated and personal for Andy when Ted Lock's recently deceased wife Fran, Mark's mother and one of Andy's old flames, is indirectly implicated in the case. She also leaves Andy a note revealing the true of identity of Mark's father. Pascoe unexpectedly returns from holiday and helps Andy deal with a second murder.—garykmcd
- Pascoe is off to visit his daughter with his ex and the stepfather in Florida, but troubled by a hurricane named Andy. In his absence, loyal sergeant Edgar Wield's hope to be appointed acting inspector is frustrated by Dalziel given precedence to less seasoned sergeant Mark Lock, whose mother nurse Fran was just buried, and secretly write to baffled Andy he's Mark's biological father, not unsuspecting uniformed sergeant Ted Lock who nears retirement. The vicious MO of the murder on solicitor David Brewer, tied on a chair, recalls the earlier murder on a private detective five years ago, who was hired by Bewer suspecting the affair between his wife and butcher Tom Piper, which Mark worked on but lead to no prosecution. The name of local GP Robert Silwood keep popping up, and by the time Pascoe returns, Mark has been taken off the case and murdered.—KGF Vissers
