The Word Of God, by Peter Jukes

Thursday 7 April 2005, 8pm, BBC One

Lynley and Havers are called to Smithfield's market where the body of a man has been found frozen on a meat truck. The victim is carrying a British passport and a page of vellum with golden Arabic script. The passport turns out to be a forgery and it appears that the victim was an illegal immigrant - was it an accidental death or did he fall foul of the traffickers who brought him into the country? The case takes another turn when the page turns out to be part of an immensely valuable ancient golden Koran, more than enough motive for murder. As the case progresses Lynley locks horns with DI Brennan of the immigration department. Lynley has to ask himself how much he is willing to risk in order to solve the case.

Guest stars include Matilda Ziegler as Christine Marshall and Mark Benton as Blackwell.
