There is also only one individual with a connection to both cases. With the exhumation of a child that had died from abuse some years earlier, Sam is able to demonstrate that there are similarities between the deaths of the two children. In her personal life, Sam has to deal with her elderly mother who is showing signs of dementia and her sister Wyn with whom she has a strained relationship. Sam receives information from a prison inmate that implicates someone in a previous death and Sam suggests a radical step. The autopsy reveals that the child has suffered previous abuse, including cigarette burns and several broken ribs. In her first case, she has to deal with the death of a six-year-old girl found floating in a nearby river. Sam returns to Cambridge to take up a teaching assignment and to work for the police.
