Pearls Before Swine

Parish and Richards are given the case of a semi-naked female body found on the side of the A10. It appeared that the young woman was pregnant and the only thing found on her is a necklace with a biblical quote on one side and "Tom" on the other. As they investigate, it gradually becomes clear that the teenager was the victim of a registered sex offender, but is he the killer? And who is "Tom"? Where and who is Michael Blair? And how does Tilly Nicholls fit into the puzzle? And who is JL in Angie's phonebook?

Xena and Stick have the case of a body that has floated to the surface, after being submerged for a month in Barclay Park lake. There are twenty-one penetration wounds around the head, neck and chest. They discover that the victim was a drug addict and low-level dealer working for County Lines. But the Drug Squad won't give them any information, because they're running an operation and have an officer deep undercover that they need to protect. Xena also has to put up with Pecker, a new pathologist, a virtual helicopter and a dentist called Cole Stanton who wants to take her out to dinner.
