Close to Home-2003

Carver and De Costa investigate the staff at St. Hugh's hospital when the home of an elderly patient is burgled, using the keys in her bedside cabinet. However, a discrepancy over the amount of money stolen soon puts someone else entirely in the frame. Meanwhile, Perkins and Sharpe try different approaches in dealing with paedophile Ian Forrester, but Terry's idea of a rehabilitation programme for the convicted offender doesn't exactly light up Sharpe's world. Harman makes a shocking discovery about a suspected intruder at Stamp's house, who turns out to be none other than his Filipino girlfriend - but that's nothing compared to the surprise awaiting Stamp when he arrives back home.
