In the ninth season of Britain’s #1 TV mystery, Vera (Brenda Blethyn) will be confronted with four more tragic and intriguing murder cases. From new faces to cold cases.
EPISODE 1
Hidden Depths
A handsome young man, a coquettish student teacher, and nothing in common between them-except that both were murdered and left with their bodies meticulously posed. As the killer begins to zero in on a third victim, DCI Stanhope finds suspects and motives mounting.
EPISODE 2
Telling Tales
Eleven years ago, Jeanie Long was found guilty of murder, despite unwaveringly maintaining her innocence. On the strength of new evidence, DCI Stanhope must put together the pieces of a decade-old murder-and stop a ruthless killer before he or she strikes again.
EPISODE 3
The Crow Trap
A woman is murdered in the remote Northumbrian countryside leading DI Vera Stanhope back to a place from her past.
EPISODE 4
Little Lazarus
Usually awkward and disinterested around children, Vera finds a kindred spirit in the boy of a murdered woman. Along the way, she realizes that the key to the case lies deep in the child’s memory.
The Ghost Position
Vera Stanhope is reunited with her first mentor after his home is firebombed and his teenage daughter badly injured in the blaze. Having survived an apparent murder bid, her old friend then makes a tragic decision, leaving Vera to find out why.
Silent Voices
What connects the murder of a well-respected social worker and a famous case in which a child was drowned by his own mother? The answer seems to lie in a book the murdered woman was writing-until Stanhope's prime suspect ends up drowned, too.
