這是威爾士S4電視臺1994年開播的一部兇案推理劇集。曾出演《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，他不依靠何現(xiàn)代科學(xué)技術(shù)的協(xié)助，純本能的直覺，聰明的材質(zhì)，密的推理來破獲多起重大案。但與此同時(shí)，Bavaria也得罪了一大批黑幫惡徒，他必須保號山自己以及寶貝女的生命。整部劇集格調(diào)陰暗畫面凄涼，我們幾乎找不到爾士的田園美景。全劇以高的真實(shí)性和演員們的出色表使各大權(quán)威電視媒體將其與窺探者》（Cracker）和《摩西督查》（Supervision of Moses）并稱為英國最出色的犯罪心理題材系列劇。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.
