Crime drama set during the Blitz. After several women are murdered, pathologist Lennox Collins and his secretary Molly Cooper employ ground breaking forensic techniques in pursuit of the killer.
Lennox soon finds out that he is not only fighting a battle to modernise the way in which crimes are solved, but he’s also clashing with a government who will go to any lengths to ensure the country’s morale is sustained even if that means covering up a murder.
