Wire in the Blood - Shadows Rising

Product Description Brilliant, passionate and eccentric, clinical psychologist Dr. Tony Hill (Robson Green) has an extraordinary understanding of the criminal mind. It enables him to empathize with both victim and murderer - and even to visualize the crimes. Working alongside the ambitious and driven Detective Inspector Carol Jordan (Hermione Norris), Dr. Hill helps the police profile and track down vicious killers in northern England. Amazon.com Intelligent plotting and smart, well-drawn characters make Wire in the Blood well worth watching. This gritty British TV series plays like a cunning hybrid of Cracker, Prime Suspect, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, starring Robson Green as clinical psychologist Tony Hill, whose intimate understanding of the criminal mind gives him an uncanny knack for profiling killers based on scant physical evidence. In the two-part episode "Shadows Rising," Hill and Detective Inspector Carol Jordan (Hermione Norris) unravel the twisting (and twisted) plot of a celebrity stalker who's terrorizing a talk-show hostess and leaving a trail of young, female corpses in his wake. The motivation for these killings provides the episode's unpredictable revelation, spinning this engrossing mystery in an entirely unexpected direction. With a suspenseful climax, sharp performances, and high standards of writing and direction, Wire in the Blood is easily recommended for Brits and Anglophiles everywhere. --Jeff Shannon
