Vera

The detective investigates the ugly truth about a murder victim's past

The investigation into the murder of 29-year-old Niall is made difficult by those closest to him, who seem intent on obscuring the facts, and it is not until the body of a drug dealer washes up on a beach that the dreadful truth begins to emerge. While coping with revelations of her own, Vera sifts through evidence of the grief, love and addiction that characterised Niall's life as she tries to find out why someone wanted him dead. With Judy Parfitt (Call the Midwife) and Phyllis Logan (Downton Abbey)
