The Coroner

An anonymous phone call from someone who claims to know the whereabouts of missing teenager Sophie Marsh's body prompts a forensic search of Dartmoor. Much to her mother's distress, no body is found.

Jane (Claire Goose) and Davey (Matt Bardock) are both called in to investigate the death of an inmate at a nearby prison.

When addict Charlie MacKendrick is found dead in his cell by another prisoner, Davey assumes it's a straightforward drug overdose. But when the new prison governor Maggie Fordham Bryce (Michelle Austin) fills Jane in on Charlie's background as a burglar with a possible stash of cash on the outside, Jane suspects something more.

Searching Charlie's cell for answers, Jane finds a letter addressed to her from Charlie's cellmate, the chilling Sydney Stone (Matthew Marsh) who is appealing his conviction for Sophie Marsh's murder.

Although Davey warns against meeting up with such a manipulative child killer, Jane does it anyway with Davey by her side. She wants to know if she can solve both cases and offer some peace to Sophie's mother - but by so doing is she unwittingly putting her own daughter in danger?
