George Gently

When DCI Gently and his team investigate a body found in a chemical storage tank, they learn that the victim’s wife was convicted of his murder eight years ago. But Gently decides to reopen the case against the wishes of DI Bacchus, who had worked on the original investigation.

When Gently is asked to look into a young woman’s unsolved murder, he hopes to expose one last cover-up before retiring from the force. Still at odds with his superior, Bacchus asks for Rachel’s help investigating the murder of a worker killed during a picket riot. Both cases seem to be linked to a charismatic and ambitious politician.
