But soon other crimes are committed, with clear signs of escalation, and as the perpetrators' message becomes clearer, Vicky begins to question where her own sympathies lie.
From the acclaimed author of the DI Fenchurch series, Tooth & Claw is an unyielding police procedural that fearlessly examines the uncomfortable grey areas between right and wrong.
As created by actor Robert Young and writer Ed James, "Father Knows Best" began as a fairly typical situation comedy but, by the time the show was first aired in 1949, most of the clichés had been removed. What was left was a solid, well-written portrayal of typical middle-American family life, with a surprising emphasis on well-shaded characters, rather than outlandish situations, to bring out the humorous side of suburban life. Thanks to excellent writing and the outstanding acting talents of the principals, these still-hilarious broadcasts rise above the norm to make "Father Knows Best" one of the highlights of late-era network radio entertainment.

A sadistic killer. An infamous victim. A crime that gets darker and darker…
The body of a young woman is found in a London hotel room, the victim of a suspected poisoning. Called in to investigate, DI Simon Fenchurch soon discovers the case is far more sinister than he could have imagined.
He should have recognised the woman at once—a teacher at a local school, her scandalous affair with a pupil has been splashed across the tabloids. As Fenchurch interrogates those closest to her, a web of suspicious connections begins to emerge.
Meanwhile Fenchurch’s own life is still in turmoil: his family fragmented, his baby son in intensive care, and his mentor replaced by an unsympathetic new boss. The streets of London are in chaos too, with a spate of acid attacks on seemingly random victims.
Struggling to hold on to hope on both fronts, Fenchurch faces the toughest few days of his career. Can he keep his family safe and catch whoever is behind the murder before more lives are lost?
DC Scott Cullen finds himself investigating two decades-old cases when a mangled body is found in a barrel of aged Dunpender Distillery whisky. Two men disappeared around the time the barrel was filled, nearly twenty years ago. As Cullen investigates, he finds himself steeped in twisted tales of family loyalties, lies and professional rivalries. Before he can find the killer, he needs to know whose body is in the barrel...
On the surface, the victim was a popular, high-performing student. But as secret grudges against her emerge, so too does evidence that she was living a double life, working on explicit webcam sites for a seedy London ganglord. Everyone Fenchurch talks to knows a lot more than they're willing to tell, and before long he's making new enemies of his own - threatening to push him and his family past the breaking point.
With too many suspects and not enough facts, Fenchurch knows his new superiors are just waiting for him to fail - they want him off the case, and off the force for good. His family is in more danger than ever before. So how deep is he willing to dig in order to unearth the truth?
