17th May 2003
Emotions of the Murder Investigation Team run high when the dismembered body of a small child is found on a Thames rubbish barge. A painstaking search through layers of decaying rubbish reveals some clues but a discovery during the post mortem is even more disturbing. The little boy's heart has been crudely removed from his body and it looks like his murder could be African ritualistic killing. The murdered child's parents have logged a missing persons report, but their priest prevents DI Friend from making contact. Offering to act as their interpreter the priest speaks on their behalf but MIT soon realise the parents do, in fact, speak English. Does the priest know more about the child's murder than he is letting on? And where is their younger child Francis? It's a race against time for MIT who have the chance to save a life instead of being there at the end of one... [Source: MurderInvestigationTeam.com]

10th May 2003
DI Vivien Friend investigates the murder of a young woman whose remains have been found preserved in a concrete tomb at a demolition site. The only clues to her identity are a healed scar along her left hand and a puncture mark at the base of her spine from a medical procedure. The police investigation leads to a 3 year old missing persons case in which a young girl vanished from her parents' pub without trace. When the autopsy confirms it is the same missing girl, DI Friend has to break the news of her death to her distraught parents Celia and Phil Seabrook. The strongest lead is a mysterious photograph of their daughter with an unidentified man, and when the pathologist reveals their child Lucy was in the early stages of a pregnancy, the race is on to find him.

There are no signs of a struggle but her body has been cleaned inside and out with bleach - the police know they are looking for a calculating and forensically aware killer. Her husband, Henry, has no alibi for the night of her murder and is consequently their prime suspect, but when another red-haired woman is brought into the local hospital drugged and disorientated a new line of enquiry opens up for the police team which will lead them to one man's terrible and dark secret.
