DCI Banks

In the first episode, DCI Alan Banks is taken to a canal where there has been a fatal fire. The crime is far from straightforward, and as another body is discovered the motive, as well as the intended victim, become increasingly unclear. However, the discovery of what appears to be a Turner landscape suggests that at least one of the victims was involved in an art forgery scam.

A mysterious phone message leads Banks to Harrogate to search for his estranged younger brother, while the team investigate the murder of a young woman.

When two bogus social workers come to Katy Heath's house and take her son away, Banks is drawn into a massive search for the boy - but is Katy telling the truth?

A young Estonian woman is found dead on a piece of waste-ground, suspected of being buried alive. As the team piece together her movements, they uncover a world of prostitution and drugs hidden behind a respectable veneer.

When a young man is found brutally murdered, Banks' instinct drags his team into a world of organised crime.
