Private Notes
The apparently happy Harrogate family is torn apart when they return home to discover their daughter, Emily, dead. Connor and Satchell begin to sift through the case and discover that the family isn't as stable as it first appeared. Connor appeals to Walker for some backup, who is having problems of his own with his own son Richard. Secrets are soon discovered and fragile relationships are tested in the process of ensuring justice is done.
The police continue their investigation into Emily Harogate's death. Dr. Mullins thinks that her death is anything but accidental. DCI O'Connor is certain that it's friend or family-related.
A young school girl is raped and murdered, but D.C.I. Connor still has no leads a month into the investigation. When Walker orders a review of unsolved cases, they turn up similar cases of raped and murdered teenage girls over the last ten years, and they find themselves searching for an apparent serial killer.
Roisin's interest in Stanford goes beyond the professional when she gets drunk and amorous and Walker has to warn her about her behaviour. He is also displeased when she expresses doubts as to the reliability of a former colleague who investigated the earlier murders. When a female officer is the victim of a vicious attack, Roisin has to face up to the truth. Is Max Stanford actually who he claims to be?
A serial rapist is targeting the black community by raping white women with black boyfriends. When an attack ends in murder and the boyfriend is cleared, Walker brings him on to the investigation to help, but could Connor's relationship with a barrister working on the case jeopardise the investigation and the subsequent trial?
Believing for the moment that Milton Jones is innocent Walker decides to use him as a helper in the enquiry. DNA and forensic evidence brings in a likely suspect but unfortunately Milton fails to identify him clearly in the police line-up. Roisin meanwhile discovers that the victims were linked by a night club though staff are hostile when she investigates it against Walker's better judgment.
A mother returns home from work to find her baby girl dead in her cot, and her nanny has Vanished. D.C.I. Connor and the team take on this emotive case involving this ultimate abuse of trust. With the nanny on the run, it seems an obvious conclusion. But the more they investigate the case, the more complicated it becomes and they find themselves wondering who is the real victim and who can they really trust?
The police discover that Rachel was once the nanny for a couple whose baby son,Joe, also died and Walker wants to exhume the child's body. Whilst the mother, Gina, is eventually cooperative, her husband Lee is dead against the idea and is actually defensive of Rachel, hardly surprising as he had had an affair with her. To complicate matters, Poppy's mother Suzy, is revealed to be in fragile mental health and could also be guilty of killing her child.
The murder of a Police Commander and his wife puts Walker, Connor and the team under pressure to get a quick result. Jewelery has been stolen from the house, which would indicate a burglary gone wrong, but several relatives profit from their deaths and so they focus the investigation on the family. Connor is suspicious of the identical twin sons in particular and suspects that they may have worked together in order to get away with patricide.
Despite an apparently water-tight alibi, there is something about the twins' behaviour that makes Walker uneasy, particularly as the dominant Michael seems to be controlling his asthmatic brother, and the boys are arrested and sent for trial. Family secrets start to be revealed when Michael claims a history of abuse from his father and it also comes out that Commander Daly was being unfaithful to his wife with Janet, the house-keeper, thus widening the net again.
