From Sunday 30 January 8.40pm
DCI Vera Stanhope must unravel the mystery of a murdered family man, found beaten at the Collingwood Monument the day before he was due to testify in court.
When the body of well-respected local builder, Jim Tullman, is found beaten to death on the steps of the Collingwood Monument, DCI Vera Stanhope (Brenda Blethyn) questions how such a seemingly beloved and imposing figure could be attacked so viciously.
The mystery deepens when she discovers that Tullman was to testify against Marcus Hynde a promising cadet footballer facing charges of GBH. Are the two crimes connected?
The traumatised victim, Victor, and his sister Monica demand their day in court, while Hynde’s delinquent brother Patrick and fiercely protective mother Andrea insist that Tullman was wrong Marcus is innocent!
As Vera delves deeper into Jim Tullman’s life she discovers unresolved bitterness between his estranged wife Barbara and doting son John Paul, while tensions with old family friends Gary and Lesley Clayton threaten to spill over.
Vera must see through the web of family grievances, jealousies and lies to ensure justice is done. Production credit: Made by Silverprint Pictures, part of ITV Studios, for ITV.
