4. Confession

Available for over a year

The murder enquiry into the death of a church parishioner continues. Detective Inspector Flood pursued the suspect priest from London to Ireland but his body was discovered before she could speak to him. But before he died, he made a final confession to Father Manu, the curate, who now refuses to break the seal of the confessional. Nicola Walker stars in Nick Perry's gritty crime drama. Each Roman Catholic parish compiles a Book of the Dead from the lists of departed loved ones submitted by parishioners. Printed on the front of the envelopes are three words: NOVEMBER DEAD LIST A young priest opens one such envelope and discovers - not a list of the dead - but names of people he knows to be LIVING members of his congregation!. At first he thinks it's someone's idea of a joke. Then the people named start turning up dead... DI Flood ...... Nicola Walker Father Manu ...... Paul Ready John ...... Steve Toussaint Father Pat ...... Dermot Crowley Simon ...... Arthur Hughes Terrence ...... John Norton Gerry ...... Stephen Hogan Kevin ...... Sean Murray Eileen ...... Carolyn Pickles Journalist ...... Carys Eleri Director: Sasha Yevtushenko. First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in January 2014.
