Day of Reckoning

Fifteen-year-old Amy Wright has fallen in love with a man from an internet chat room. PCs Larry Barton and Jackie Brown are called in to investigate after Amy's mother raises concerns that the man might be older (and more dangerous) than he seems. Larry risks everything on a strategy of posing as Amy in order to lure the man out into the open… DS Roz Kelly (Claire Sweeney) has an unwelcome reunion with her armed robber father, Eddie Lewis. She suspects he's working on another job and warns him off. But taking a different kind of interest in Lewis's visit is DI Pete Hammond, who decides to do some digging of his own. An altercation with Gary Naylor, a local hard case with a reputation for selling guns, leaves Hammond for dead on a deserted building site. Can he be reached in time?
