Full Synopsis
WHILE THE CAT'S AWAY . . .

Mike Nash is away on compassionate leave but that doesn't mean the criminals are going to take a break.

Detective Clara Mironova and the Helmsdale team face a sudden increase in crime. Minor offences ranging from theft, shoplifting, and poaching, pale into insignificance when a violent turf war breaks out between rival drugs gangs.

Soon they have to cope with three murders, including the shooting of a police officer killed on a routine call.

NOW IT'S PERSONAL.

Then a batch of deliberately contaminated heroin hits the streets, resulting in the deaths of three addicts and causing media panic.

WHO'S THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE CRIME WAVE?
