"Set in the 1890s, the sophisticated and sly Detective William Murdoch (Peter Outerbridge - ReGenesis, Lucky Number Slevin) investigates murders against the seedy backdrop of a debauched world where no one trusts the police and everyone seems sinister. Murdoch is a principled young man whose intelligence and compassion are often at odds with his superiors and co-workers. While seemingly irrefutable evidence leads his peers down the wrong investigative paths, Murdoch's keen instinct will not allow him to dismiss causes of death so easily. Without modern-day technology to aid him and often with minimal help from witnesses, Murdoch must get to the bottom of each crime armed only with his wit and cunning - and he will not rest until the murderer is brought to justice."--Container.
