The House of Mourning — Tim Ellis

Parish & Richards must find a killer who is carving broken hearts on women's abdomens and then murdering them. Stick & Xena have the case of a severed hand, which was found by a bag lady in a waste bin outside the local fish & chip shop, but Xena has her own problems. Jerry gets involved with a woman who thinks someone is trying to kill her, so she asks for Cookie's help who gets herself into serious trouble in doing so. Also, Oscar Gamboa, a lieutenant in the Los Cambios drug cartel, has been tasked by Esteben Garcia to get his money back and kill whoever has it. Parish & Richards finally get the chance to visit the Excess Bagage depot in Wembley and find out what's contained in the briefcase.
