★★★★★ A cold case investigation into the disappearance of thirteen-year olds, Christopher Deeks and Ewan Birley, who vanished in the early nineties, opens up old wounds, old lies and a botched investigation into the very heart of the church. DI Alan Williams and the Major Investigation Team find themselves chasing a murderer while trying to contain the backlash of an early release program, designed to help the prisons cope with the covid-19 outbreak. It’s clear the government have released the wrong men. Pure evil walks the streets.
