On Harbour Street:
In the return of ITV’s VERA, DCI Vera Stanhope investigates the mysterious death of pensioner
Margaret Kraszewski on a busy Newcastle train at the height of rush hour. DS Joe Ashworth
struggles to maintain a professional distance, as his daughter is key witness in the case. Led to
a quiet street in a run down seaside town, they discover a tight knit community living in the
s hadow of a long-held, explosive secret.
Protected:
D.C.I. Vera Stanhope and D. S Joe Ashworth investigate the mysterious murder of David
Kenworthy, found dead on the beach at Whitley Bay. Local arcade owner, Larry Crowe has a
direct link to the family. His son Paddy died in a botched robbery at the Kenworthy home forty
years ago. A witness saw him arguing with David on the night of the killing and a search of his
property uncovers a bloodied bat. But Larry has a watertight alibi. And it’s clear he wasn’t the
only person David met that night.
The Deer Hunter:
Teenagers Sassi and Louis Barnes stumble across Shane Thurgood, dead from a single gunshot
wound on the moors of the Northumberland countryside. An abandoned truck is found burnt
out a mile away, containing the remains of a deer. D.S. Joe Ashworth is convinced this is a
poacher’s war gone wrong but for D.C.I. Vera Stanhope, the truth is never that straightforward.
Death of a Family Man:
In the closing episode of the fourth series of ITV’s VERA, D.C.I. Vera Stanhope investigates
the mysterious death of businessman John Shearwood, found floating in the waters under the
Gateshead Millennium Bridge. Supposedly on a golf trip to Ireland, wife Stella and brother Luke
are baffled to discover John has been working as an informant for Revenue and Customs. But
why spy on your own firm?
