01 A Life for a Life
What starts as a routine stabbing for Detective Inspector Jed Parish and new recruit Police Constable Mary Richards turns into the hunt for a serial killer who uses an unusual weapon to kill, and leaves numbered tokens in his victim’s mouths. As well as getting to know each other and dealing with the fallout from the Chief’s prostate cancer, the two new partners must discover the dark history behind the tokens and the connection between the victims. To do that, they need to gain access to the abandoned Beech Tree Orphanage where a terrible truth awaits.
02 The Wages of Sin
After seven years, a psychopath starts killing again. He is mutilating women, and hanging them upside down in abandoned buildings with a meat hook through their ankles. Pinned to their breasts are messages in ancient languages.
Parish and Richards begin their investigation, but Chief Inspector Trevor Naylor wants revenge on Parish, and the killer wants Mary Richards.
Richards must also cope with the pressure of her impending National Investigator’s Examination, Parish finding out that she snores, and the lack of men in her life.
The investigation leads to a gripping conclusion, which involves DI Ray Kowalski and his partner, Chief Superintendent Walter Day, and Angela Richards. The Head of Forensics, Paul Toadstone, also becomes a hero.
11 Lamb to the Slaughter
Parish, Richards and a DI from Norwich investigate the death of a child, which is linked to child abductions across the southeast. Parish also receives a severed tongue and a location in the post. In his search for Jerry, Kowalski must travel to Wales to find out the truth behind his wife’s disappearance. During his travels he must help a desperate Cookie who is on the run.
12 Silent in the Grave
Parish and Richards are on a body hunt. Xena – with the help of Charlie Baxter, Cookie and Jenifer – conducts an investigation from her hospital bed to prove Stick is innocent, even though he won’t help himself. Kowalski can’t concentrate on his job with Jerry in a drug-induced coma in the hospital, so he tackles an unsolved cold case from the 1980s called the Red Spider murders.
13 In the Twinkling of an Eye
Parish & Richards are given the case of a gifted boy murdered on the fourteenth green at the local golf course; Richards is also trying to find out if a 1966 diary that she bought at a car boot sale, and written by a captive 15 year-old girl called Loveday, is genuine.
Stick and Xena are working to solve the case of a young woman’s thawing body found in a wood.
Jerry Kowalski is back, and she becomes involved in the trial of an architect who is accused of murdering his wife. His barrister is going to get him acquitted, but Jerry has a feeling the architect is guilty, and asks Bronwyn for her help.
14 A Time to Kill
Parish & Richards investigate what appears to be the simple case of a woman who was sexually assaulted and murdered in her own apartment, but Richards is convinced it’s the work of a serial killer . . .
Stick & Xena attend the A&E at King George Hospital to investigate a woman who says that she murdered her boyfriend, but things are a lot more complicated than they first appear. And then Xena gets some bad news . . .
Jerry Kowalski is back at the office. She’s dealing with a client who lives in a high-rise called Butterfield Spire, which is owned by recluse Israel Voss. There’s a smell, but the building supervisor won’t let her bring in the experts to investigate . . .
15 Deceit is in the Heart
Richards is seconded to the Serious Crime Analysis Section (SCAS) at Bramshill in Hampshire, but sometimes evil sneaks in before the door is bolted . . .
When Epping detectives put Carrie’s murder on the pending pile, Parish knows that he must find her killer . . .
Jerry goes back to work, and decides to take things easy by going to see Mrs Birmingham about a request to write her Last Will & Testament – what could possibly go wrong?
A man comes into the station and confesses to murdering a woman four months previously. Stick and Xena must find out whether he’s telling the truth, and where her head is . . .
Also, Zara Roche – Israel Voss’ apprentice – is in Italy when she receives a sealed letter from his solicitors that changes everything . . .
16 The Fragments That Remain
Parish and Richards are given the baffling case of a man drained of blood and left suspended in a Community Centre in the position of The Hanging Man from a pack of Tarot cards with a number on a piece of paper inserted into his heart, but this murder is only the beginning . . .
Stick and Xena are given a series of double murders to solve, but nothing is ever as simple as it first appears. The men have had body parts removed, their wives have had their throats cut and there’s a bloody handprint on the children’s bedroom doors . . .
Jerry is given two other students – Shakin’ and Joe – by the Professor in her law class, and is tasked to produce a project on the Baker Street Bank Robbery and the use of a D-Notice, but things begin to spiral out of control when Jerry is threatened by an MI5 agent, and then Bronwyn gets involved . . .
17 The Kisses of an Enemy
Due to a shortage of murders, Parish and Richards are asked to help out in the search for a missing eight year-old girl, but as usual things are never what they seem.
Xena and Stick are seconded to the Kent & Essex Serious Crime Directorate and are put on stake-out outside an industrial unit waiting for a drug delivery. However, Xena gets bored on stake-outs and things quickly become something a lot more sinister when she decides that they should go and investigate.
Bronwyn books into the Beautiful You Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in London, but when she hacks into the system she is drugged and locked in the basement. Jerry, Shakin and Joe decide to find out what’s happened to her, but things quickly go from bad to worse – a lot worse.
18 Evidence of Things Not Seen
The new Chief arrives – DCI Nigel Nibley – who hands out the new murder investigations. Parish and Richards are given the case of a murdered ten year-old boy, but a three-link chain tattoo under his top lip hints at something more than an abduction, sexual assault and murder. It becomes a lot more sinister when Doc Riley finds a DNA match on the database that has been sealed from prying eyes.
Stick and Xena get the Painted Lady Killer case. Someone has body-painted a young woman as two halves of a clown – good and evil, which includes the insertion of a prosthetic eye, and left her in a house. During the post-mortem, a hidden message is discovered on the body, and they must delve into the world of body-painting to get to the strange truth.
Kowalski and Bronwyn have opened up Abacus Investigations. Their first case involves a man – Linus Frost – who has been missing for six months. His daughter asks them to find out what has happened to him, and gives them key in a box that came in the post, but all is not what it seems . . .
19 Dominion of Darkness
Parish and Richards are given the case of a beautiful naked mutilated woman who seems to have walked away from her life. Xena and Stick must find out whether the killer of an eight year old girl has returned 24 years later to finish what he started. After the death of a DI from Romford, the Chief Constable asks Kowalski to come back initially for a month to solve the case.

20 There is no Fear in Love
For Parish and Richards, what begins with the discovery of a small heart carved into the forehead of a murdered young woman, turns into the search for a prolific serial killer called The Lover, and involves the Met’s Serious Crimes Investigative Team (SCIT) descending on them to lead the investigation. Xena and Stick investigate when a mother and three children are murdered at a farm, which also has a Donkey Sanctuary where they get up close and personal with Huckleberry and Pickle. Their main suspect – the father – is missing, but are things that simple? Jerry, Shakin’ and Joe have to write a report on the unsolved murder of Emily Hobson, but when they begin to check out the facts they uncover something a lot more sinister. A ten-year-old boy comes into Abacus Investigations and asks Kowalski to find his missing mum, because he thinks that his dad might have murdered her and disposed of the body, but things are a lot more complicated than that.
