City Homicide

Ratters (4x5)

:

The shocking death of coroner's driver Corey Mayer is compounded by the theft of the body he was transporting. Was his murder just collateral damage or was he the intended target? Motives are plentiful. Did a nursing home steal a body to cover-up the neglect of its patients? Could the body have been taken as part of a black market organ-trading ring? Or was Corey's vicious killing a direct consequence of his gambling debt — and the shameful crimes he committed to pay it off? The strict rules at the Morgue should prevent any tampering with the bodies. But Homicide have seen enough horror to know that people will do anything if the price is high enough. Nick Buchanan's natural scepticism means he refuses to accept evidence at face value and so he and Jennifer Mapplethorpe must bend the rules to pursue an unlikely killer.
