Mother Redcap was the sixth and final episode of Series 2. It was written by David Renwick, directed by Keith Washington and featured Jonathan and Maddy.
A judge on a police protection programme is killed by a rapier blade into the chest and after a brief struggle, but only his sleeping wife was in the room at the time, and the only evidence at the crime scene is a torn fingernail.
As Jonathan investigates the murder, Maddy and a new friend are investigating the derelict Mother Redcap Inn, where seven people apparently died of fright after looking out the window in the same room. A connection between the cases is drawn when Maddy discovers the body of a vagrant woman... missing a fingernail.
