這是威爾士S4電視臺1994年開播的一部兇案推理劇集。曾出《最后的莫西干人》和《Doctor Who》的威爾士著名男星Philip Madoc在本劇中成功的塑造了威爾士驚嘆Noel Bavaria這一經(jīng)典形象。Bavaria具有與生俱來的破案能力，他不依靠任何現(xiàn)代科技術的協(xié)助，純粹本能的直覺，明的材質(zhì)，縝密的推理來破獲多重大案件。但與此同時，Bavaria也得罪了一大批黑幫惡徒，他必須保護自己以及寶貝夔兒的命。整部劇集格調(diào)陰暗，畫面凄，我們幾乎找不到威爾士的田園景。全劇以高度的真實性和演員的出色表演使各大權威電視媒體其與《窺探者》（Cracker）和《摩西督查》（Supervision of Moses）并稱為英國最出色的犯罪心理題系列劇。Philip Madoc played Detective Chief Inspector Noel Bain, who looks back nostalgically to the days when policing involved chasing villains, playing rugger and drinking Guinness, but has come to recognise that contemporary policing imposes dilemmas that no training manual could ever contemplate.Bain is a widower and has a tempestuous relationship with his daughter, Hannah Bain, (Fion Wilkins) who, despite resenting the lack of time her father spent with the family because of police work, becomes a WPC on the same police force. DCI Bain's close friendship with police pathologist Prof. Margaret Edwards (Sharon Morgan) remains enigmatic as he fears treading the same path that caused so many problems for his family.
