Description: "Right. I have to tell this one. You won't want to hear it but don't shrink away. We'd all like to. I'd read about similar cases of course but I'd never worked on one. You'd have to be a pretty stupid police officer not to wonder if one will come your way. It came our way two days before Christmas. A man killed his children. We knew who, very early on. This isn't about that. It's about why."

1/5 Briony Cook comes home to find her three children dead and her husband gone. 2/5 Adam Cook, the father of three dead children, has been found alive, rescued from suicide. 3/5 Craven has little appetite for Christmas dinner after a morning in the mortuary. 4/5 Adam Cook is out of hospital, and Watende and Craven plan a careful interview with him. 5/5 Adam Cook pleads not guilty to murdering his children. Briony Cook must take to the stand. 
A short, sharp police procedural of family annihilation in the build up to the 'silly season'. This is class radio and the high end of three save the children stickers.
