All Is Vanity — Tim Ellis

Parish and Richards are given the case of a thigh bone found on waste ground, but one thigh bone leads to a number of other dis-articulated bones. Xena and Stick have the case of a young female shop assistant who has been bludgeoned to death in a sex shop, but finding the murderer is not straight-forward. Jerry, Joe and Shakin' are given the task of writing a report on a recent conviction based on the recovered memory of a woman from twenty-six-years ago, but all is not what it seems. Kowalski and Bronwyn take the case of a female research assistant from Leicester University who supposedly committed suicide on Hemsby beach in Norfolk. Also, DCI Nibley receives a birthday card from his father, who disappeared forty years ago after murdering his wife and two of his three children.
