Three classic murder tales set in post-war England.
Shooting, stabbing, poison... there are many ways to commit a crime, but there's only one man who can solve it: Chief Detective Inspector Roderick Alleyn - an investigator who is primarily interested in facts. Among his friends who know his aristocratic background, he remains "that nice chap Alleyn" - but a chap with a sense of humour and more edge to him than at first meets the eye.
Inspector Alleyn is the creation of New Zealand writer, Dame Ngaio Marsh, who wrote over 30 internationally best-selling Alleyn novels and has been hailed as 'the queen of the straight crime novel'.
Patrick Malahide (MINDER) returns as the Scotland Yard sleuth, along with his loyal sidekick Inspector Fox (William Simons, HEARTBEAT), to investigate the final 3 feature-length mysteries from this stylish BBC series set in the 1940s.
