When a young woman, Lizzie Faulkner, is shot 0️⃣ late at night outside the holiday chalet where she and two friends are staying for the weekend, Vera and Joe 0️⃣ suspect that her murder is linked to poachers operating in nearby fields. They identify a suspect, Robert Doran, but despite 0️⃣ being in the vicinity at the time, he denies being responsible for Lizzie's murder. Vera begins to suspect the woman's 0️⃣ death may have been a case of mistaken identity, and that the intended victim may have been one of the 0️⃣ chalet designers, Corrine Franks, who was meant to have been staying there at the time. A link to a tragic 0️⃣ car accident a few months earlier involving Corrine, which led to an innocent woman losing her life, appears to confirm 0️⃣ their theory. When Corrine is later killed in a hit-and-run, the team finally get the breakthrough they have been looking 0️⃣ for.
