Filmed entirely on location in Northern Ireland, local directors Andy Tohill and Ryan Tohill (The Dig, Insulin) return to direct the episodes for A Certain Justice. Tyrone native Brendan Mullin (Boys From County Hell, Bad Day For The Cut) has produced the second series.
In Death Of An Expert Witness, when a young girl is found murdered in a field, the scientific examination of the exhibits is just a routine job for the staff of Hoggatt’s forensic science laboratory, but when the senior biologist is found dead in his laboratory, Dalgliesh is called to the bleak fens of East Anglia, where the murderer is lying in wait to strike again.
A Certain Justice sees Venetia Aldridge QC, a distinguished barrister, agree to defend Garry Ashe, accused of the brutal murder of his aunt. Just four weeks later, Miss Aldridge is found dead at her desk.
As Dalgliesh narrows the field of suspects, a second brutal murder draws them into greater complexities of intrigue and evil.
Finally, in The Murder Room, Dalgliesh is acquainted with the Dupayne Museum and its sinister murder room celebrating notorious crimes committed in the interwar years.
When he is called to investigate the killing of one of the trustees, it seems everyone has something to gain from the crime. When it becomes clear that the killer is prepared to kill again, Dalgliesh knows that to solve this case he has to get into the mind of a ruthless killer.
Dalgliesh is an AMC Networks’ Acorn TV and Channel 5 commission with Acorn Media Enterprises and All3Media International from leading production company New Pictures and funding from Northern Ireland Screen.
