Silent Witness

In a suspected terrorist attack on a London hotel a government minister is killed. As Sam and the team investigate the case, old friends and government officials soon muddy the water.

Refer to part 1, as this is the continuing story of that.

Sam comes under scrutiny at an official inquiry into two prison deaths and an old case Sam worked on 13 years resurfaces.

Sam and Leo, colleague Pathologists, are on opposing sides of a high-profile court case.

A John Doe is found months after his death; an attractive female agent for a championship athlete is believed to have jumped to her death from a rooftop. Forensic pathologists must sort out time and methods of death.

Following her discovery of the second body and believing the cases to be linked, Sam is sidelined from the investigation as she attempts to get to the truth.

Questions about a celebrated pathologist's accuracy in past cases leads to several exhumations; Sam Ryan is assigned to reexamine the remains. One particularly brutal murder conviction depends on the time of death being precise. Two crucial witnesses are found: one on her deathbed, anxious to get something off her chest, and the other dead behind a remodeled wall.

Leo and Harry follow up their leads to discover an alarming truth. Are Sam and her team being used by the Home Office to drive out Peter Sachs in fear of a costly process?
