Synopsis:

"Ruth Rendell Mysteries" Simisola: Part One: Inspector Wexford is approached by his black doctor with the request to track down his daughter. Then the body of a young black girl who has been murdered turns up… "Ruth Rendell Mysteries" Road Rage: Part One: DCI Reg Wexford and DI Burden has to deal with a group of eco-activists who have set up an elaborate camp in a wooded area in the hopes of stopping the construction of a major road, the Kingsmarkham bypass. Some of the activists will go to any length to have it stopped including setting traps for the construction crews such as spiking trees. Their leader is a somewhat imposing figure who will only identify himself as King of the Wood. Tensions are growing between the workers and the protesters who are forcibly evicted and forced out of their camp. Meanwhile, Burden is investigating the case of a missing German girl, Ulrike Ranke who seems to have vanished into thin air. The girl's father has taken to living in Kingsmarkham and contacts Burden regularly on the status of the case. When they find her body in the woods Burden's instinct tells him he's dealing with a murder. They trace her to a pub where she'd called a taxi but the driver who picked her up, Trotter, is clearly hiding something. The Wexfords are once again grandparents but Reg is worried sick when Dora fails to arrive at their daughter Sheila's house. None of the taxi firms have any record of collecting someone at their house. When a second and then a third person who were to travel to London are reported missing, it's evident the disappearances are connected. In total 5 people are missing and all have been taken hostage by environmental terrorists calling themselves Sacred Globe. "Ruth Rendell Mysteries" Road Rage: Part Two: Although overjoyed that she has been released by the eco-terrorists, Dora Wexford seems more interested in the fate her fellow hostages than her newly-born granddaughter.She worries about the claustrophobic Roxanne, who has been beaten and locked in a closet and young Ryan, whom she feels guilty at having left alone when she was released. All the vanished victims, including the dead German girl, seem to have ordered a taxi from a particular cab company. Dora blames Reg when Roxanne's dead body is found near the taxi stand and young Ryan apparently succumbs to Stockholm syndrome and joins the terrorists. A suspension of the construction of the bypass is seen as a way to save the remaining hostages by the Home Office, but Wexford believes that there may be a mole in the department and there is more behind these events than just saving a stand of old growth trees. "Ruth Rendell Mysteries" Harm Done: DCI Reg Wexford and DI Mike Burden have their hands full. A teenage girl disappears for three days after having accepted a lift from a middle-aged woman. She is apparently unharmed but her parents are convinced she must have been molested. Then a second girl disappears under virtually the same circumstances. At the same time, a 3 year-old disappears from her bedroom just as a 72 year-old pedophile is released into the community. The police are satisfied that he had nothing to do with her abduction, but that doesn't prevent parents in the working class community from assuming that he isn't. Two murders however keep them busy as they try to decipher all of the information they are acquiring.
