Together with friend and mentor, the gruff yet kindly Detective Inspector Thursday, the crime solving pair investigate murder and dark deeds in the eternal city of dreaming spires. As the 1960s draw to a close, the fate of Cowley Station will see everyone forced to trial pastures new. However, despite their separation, an unsolved case still hangs over them all. Written by series creator Russell Lewis, each unique and thrilling case unravels more of the hidden and secret history that shaped the future of one of television's greatest detectives.
