The Long Call
二十年前，被家人排斥的Matthew，离开了曾经成长的福音派社区，那是一个要求严格的社区。如今Matthew回来了，不仅仅是站在父亲葬礼举行的教堂外，远远地悼念，更是为了负责自己的第一桩重大谋杀案。在Matthew新家附近的海滩上发现了一具尸体，一个脖子上有信天翁文身的男子被刺死了。这起案件把Matthew带回到一个潜藏着谋杀和阴谋的社区。而这一切都发生在德文郡北部美丽惊人的海岸线边。
A body is found on a beach in North Devon. DI Matthew Venn and his team search for a way into a case that has no witnesses, no forensics and no motive.
Matthew and the team continue to hunt for clues about the victim, and uncover secrets from the past and theorise who might have motive to murder. Connections are made between the victim and the Brethren community when it's uncovered that the victim had started attending meetings, while, closer to home, Matthew and his mother look to build bridges after years of silence.
The prospect of rebuilding a relationship with his mother blurs Matthew's ability to objectively examine the Brethren community, and he wrestles professional and personal issues to solve the case before anyone else gets hurt. Lucy and Gaby can no longer stay quiet as an important silence breaks and the extent of the lies suffocating the communities continues to widen.
Despite key breakthroughs, the team are frustrated until an important piece of evidence sets Matthew on the path to finding the murderer. Matthew finds clarity on the true events surrounding the murder at Crow Point and has a chance to solve the case with the killer in his sights, but he must be careful knowing someone else is in danger.
