With Tanya Lucas dead - apparently killed by the same person to killed Peter Williams - Shap finds his own situation deteriorating. He admits to DI Mayne that he slept with the girl the evening she was killed and it eventually comes out that he was using her to try and locate Terry Camerton. He's still holding out about his true relationship with Terry and his ex-wife Sally Jowell. Meanwhile, the evidence begins to point to Sally's new husband Derek as the likely murderer. DCI Lewis still has major problems at home with son Tom and thinks she will apply for the the Superintendents' Board thinking she may have more regular hours and a more balanced lifestyle.

DCI Jeanine Turner and her team investigate the murder of a senior NCO at an army base. They're getting some cooperation from the military, but they're worried about bad publicity and aren't being entirely truthful about what they know about their personnel. From the beginning, she finds the case has all of the hallmarks of a family dispute but a second and then a third death points to illegal drug use, affairs and the challenges of having to face an impending relocation to a war zone. Jeanine has to deal with her own feelings for Major Tim Fairhead who she had only recently met and who feels the same about her. That relationship also elicits a sharp reaction from DI Richard Mayne.

DCI Lewis and her team are on the scene quickly when a 19 year-old lad is stabbed just outside their local. The young man, Dwayne Kent, was out celebrating his birthday with his brother and others. He was an up and coming footballer that the papers referred to as the Golden Boy. He was found by his brother Lee just a few minutes after Dwayne had a run-in with three other young men who chased after him. It doesn't appear however that they were responsible. Dwayne was clearly living well beyond his means and seemed to own his own flat, which is news to his parents. False assumptions and mixed identities are key to solving the crime.
