- Dalziel and Pascoe investigate the murder of Nancy D'Amato whose body is found by a squad of soldiers on training. She was an American tourist who was traveling alone and may have been drugged before she was beaten to death. It's determined that Nancy was seen at a pub with two young soldiers from the nearby military training base, one of whom subsequently commits suicide. Nancy's husband Gus, a Boston homicide detective, arrives and isn't pleased with the way the investigation is being handled. Andy is quite pleased as he gets the opportunity to work with DS Jenny Ettrick, an old flame. However, she was once married to one of the witnesses in the case and may be hiding a conflict of interest. When the second soldier is killed, suspicion falls on his brutish sergeant but the detectives must return to basics when they realize they made a serious error from the outset.—garykmcd
- Only Pascoe takes an interest in the family tree of American tourist Nancy D'Amato who was drugged and murdered shortly after talking to cemetery caretaker Jake Hawkins , an ex-con sex offender, about ancestors tombs, even before the arrival from Boston of her husband, police detective Gus D'Amato, who is denied informally joining the investigation. Andy rather flirts with his ex and former trainee DS Jenny Ettrick, from the local police, mainly around Nancy's fancy hotel, where manager Charles Stubbs, Jenny's ex, swears receptionist Mark Bell to silence or worse. Nancy mysteriously visited the favorite pubs of the 'squaddies' from the local Army garrison, where they also pick up dates and 'working girls'. A female officer goes undercover their as such before the murder of Kevin Gillman and after that of his buddy Frank Ellerby, both privates being excessively bullied by their training sergeant Brian Skinner, who keeps lying to the police. Yet the case is only cracked after double-checking identities and linking dark past Ulster with a modern scam.—KGF Vissers
