A quiet man in his 50s, leading a simple life of gardening and visits to the pub, is brutally murdered in his own home. DNA, a shoe print from a rare type of trainer and CCTV footage are all left behind. Who would target this unassuming man? What sinister motive lurks behind this calculated act of extreme violence? And how could someone leave behind such a clear trail of evidence yet somehow elude justice?…
