An unidentified teenage boy is found murdered in the coastal town of Peyton-by-the-Sea at a boat shipyard. It is far away from his home town and an investigation shows he has been reported as a missing person. He left the home of his support worker and he has a younger brother still living at this home? CC TV footage from a train station gives his picture and the time he left the train. Missing Persons shows he has been missing for six weeks and his name is Caden Lennon. Vera learns that this quiet community has been plagued by a serious drug problem. Supposedly, the only known dealer in the area has turned his back on crime? Another person my have stepped into this drug market? There is a wall of silence surrounding the death of this teen boy and a new drug dealer may be the explanation?
Vera is sharp and so is her team. They start right away with interviews and gathering important information. The coroner states that Caden was killed by stab wounds and one severed an artery. There were also traces of drugs in his system. A local police officer is under suspicion and he is cautioned more than once not to delve into information about the case. This isn’t his case, it’s Vera’s case and her department!! This seemingly peaceful town seems sleepy and peaceful but it has a dark underbelly!! 5* (I really liked this episode.
