Lauren Lyle reprises her role as Val McDermid's titular character – this time round, she's been promoted to Detective Inspector and is just getting settled into her new position when she's assigned quite the puzzling case.
The newly released images give us a glimpse of James Cosmo's new character, Sir Broderick Grant, whose daughter went missing decades prior, as well as Karen and Jason (Chris Jenks) on location in what looks to be a sunny destination. Just where are they headed?
"The ransom notes that followed stirred up an uncontrollable press storm, but when the culprits fell silent, the police faltered, and Catriona and Adam were never seen again."
"With the international renown of the kidnap and the constant pressure from Catriona’s father, Sir Broderick Grant (James Cosmo), the team take on the biggest challenge of their careers to date. As Karen delves deeper into what happened in the autumn of 1984, political grudges and painful secrets reveal themselves, and it soon becomes clear… the past is far from dead."
The next run is based on McDermid’s novel A Darker Domain and has been adapted once again by Emer Kenny, who stars in the series too.
As for the cast of Karen Pirie, Lyle and Kenny will be joined by returning faces like Chris Jenks, Zach Wyatt, Steve John Shepherd and Rakhee Thakrar.Read more:
