Dalziel and Pascoe: Child's Play
(1998)
As Gwendoline Huby is being laid to rest her funeral is interrupted by Alessandro Pontelli,who claims to be her son Alexander,missing in action in Italy in 1944. The other heirs are not happy - especially bluff John Huby though hotelier Stephanie Windibanks is more philosophical. She believes Pontelli is genuine,having a birthmark she remembers. The family's former housekeeper Ella Keech claims there was no birthmark. Then Pontelli is shot dead. At the same time Wieldy is visited by a gay youth who knows that the policeman is a closet gay himself. The boy is also murdered and is ultimately found to have a link to the Huby family.
