found dead backstage at the Old Hudson Opera
House, Logan and Barek learn that she was thrown

were known to head up there during their breaks.

Eric Newsome, a young man who was reported
missing a few days ago.
A camera discovered on Eric is found to have
pictures of sculptures, hard-to-reach walls,
ceilings and other parts of buildings on its memory
card: “the record of an urban explorer,” in Goren’s
words. When the detectives speak to Eric’s sister,
Nikki, she explains that she, Eric and their friends
were partial to breaking into buildings and
exploring, but never stole anything or hurt anyone.
However, it seems that Eric went on an expedition
that the others did not know about: there is a

secret-service agent whose husband was
involved in some shady dealings.
After Paula Kendall is found bludgeoned to death
in her home, Logan and Barek’s initial suspicion is
that her husband, Jay, is guilty of the crime.
Covered in his wife’s blood, Jay Kendall explains
that he got home from work to find her injured,
tried to revive her and called the police. He says
that he had tried to call 911 once and was told to
call back, but cannot explain why he waited 11
minutes to do so. Evidence seems to suggest that
Paula was having an affair – sexy clothes were
found in a bag in her car and it appears that she

wife Anna: they are celebrating their four-year-old

The next morning, Trip Slaughter is found

in latex paint during some kind of erotic game and

Barek handle the case of a woman’s body that fell
out of an aeroplane wheel well into the sea. The
investigation uncovers a string of similar deaths
involving prostitutes, and leads to a disturbed
airport worker with a dark secret.
Logan and Barek are called to the seafront where
a body has been pulled from the ocean.
Witnesses report that the unidentified woman
dropped from the sky, and the victim’s thick coat
and African tunic suggest to Logan that she may
have been a stowaway who dropped out of a
plane’s wheel well.
An autopsy reveals that the victim was in fact
beaten to death and that her body was stuffed
into the wheel well by the killer. Further clues
indicate that, instead of being an illegal immigrant,
she was most likely a local woman. After
consulting with air traffic control, Logan and Barek

The fifth season of the crime drama spin-off focusing on an elite group of New York cops continues. When an out-of-town banker is found dead from a heroin overdose in this week’s instalment, the finger of suspicion points to an elite group of professional party people.

His wife, Monica, incoherent from drug-induced psychosis, is unable to offer many clues. At the morgue, the coroner reveals that Russ may have been a drug user. Eames also notices that the victim has neatly waxed eyebrows and a fake tan. “I doubt he picked up metrosexual grooming habits in Grand Rapids,” she remarks. Interviews with friends and family throw up more new information – Russ and his wife had been trying hard to break into the social scene.

The driver appears to have shot Sabo in self-defence and driven off.

The postmortem reveals that the victim has opiates in her system and is missing her digestive tract, leading Logan to conclude that she was being used as a drug mule.
