Moving Targets
Sgt Matt Boyden of The Bill and an unidentified black man are both murdered in a drive-by shooting. The gunman makes a speedy getaway leaving the police with no idea which man was the intended target. Matt's copper colleagues look on, devastated, as M.I.T comb the crime scene. Meanwhile his own drug addicted daughter, Amy, hears the news from a custody cell back at the nick. Still in shock, evidence collected from his daughter and colleagues lead MIT to discover Matt wasn't always on the right side of the law. Sure he may have had a few skeletons in his closet, but did anyone hold a killer grudge? The investigation takes a surprising turn when DI Samantha Nixon is brought in for questioning - her underage daughter has been involved with Boyden and she is now a major suspect in the murder enquiry. But until the second victim can be identified DI Vivien Friend knows she is only working with half an investigation... [Source: MurderInvestigationTeam.com]

Daddy's Little Girl
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.

Rubbish
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]
