Wycliffe

In a police nursing home, Wycliffe ponders the future after the attempt on his life. Meanwhile, Kersey investigates a salmon poacher's suspicious death. Acting DCI Lane is tempted to move on and up.

A prostitute sparks a murder hunt when she tells Kersey that one of her clients confessed to killing another prostitute, but how believable is she?

The wife of one of Kersey's friends goes missing after an evening class and later her tutor is found murdered. Kersey's relationship with Lane threatens to lead him into deep waters.

Wycliffe is recovered and back at work. A local climber is killed in a cliff fall, and an unreliable informant claims he was pushed. A re-enactment of the fatal climb only adds to the suspicions.

Wycliffe is awarded the Queen's Medal for Gallantry. He then investigates the murder of a policeman, whose wife had been having an affair with another officer.

Lane investigates two drug dealers' deaths and defends Wycliffe against corruption allegations, after a woman from his past suddenly appears demanding help.
