Enter veteran copper DS Norman Potting (Craig Parkinson, Line of Duty) and the team in Digital Forensics. With two people found dead in as many days, Grace and Branson need more people for the investigations. What makes this crime more bizarre is the item found inside the victim’s body. It belonged to a young woman, presumably the same person whose dismembered remains, including torso stabbed dozens of times, have been found by the police. Soon thereafter, a woman is horrified when her dog brings her a human hand while on a walk in a large field in Sussex. Except he can’t, for a number reasons - all of them bad. After failing to get his attention, Zach takes the drive, ostensibly to return it on their next shared commute. Perhaps it is karma, then, that the guy inadvertently leaves behind a flash drive. His death looks more like the result of an overdose or sexual misadventure than murder - aspects of which remind Grace of another case in which a man was found dead a couple of weeks ago.įor Zach, the train ride to his namesake company’s office proves irritating, (no) thanks to the obnoxious, inconsiderate dude yakking loudly on his mobile in the seat next to him. Elsewhere in the city, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace (John Simm, Life on Mars, Doctor Who) and Detective Sergeant Glenn Branson (Richie Campbell, Small Axe, The Frankenstein Chronicles) are at a crime scene where a 49-year-old male has been found dead.

Looking good dead
