To Burn in Every Drop of Blood: Part 1

46 mins

Drug dealer Damon Horsley is murdered at the woodland shrine of suicide Sian Haddon, Sian's teen-aged friend Kyle Finn finding the body. Banks discovers that Horsley owed money to Charlie Franklin, whom Banks suspects of dealing on behalf of outwardly respectable property developer Steve Richards. Franklin is arrested but denies murder and Richards denies any involvement, despite his daughter Kat being shown to have been the dead man's girlfriend. Sian's father Brendan had also visited the murder site and when Richards' alibi is blown apart Banks, desperate to nail him after an earlier failed conviction, triumphantly arrests him. Then he hears that Kat has become the next victim at the shrine.
