Crime drama set during the Blitz. After several women are murdered, pathologist Lennox Collins and his secretary Molly Cooper employ ground breaking forensic techniques in pursuit of the killer.
First of a two-part crime drama set during the the birth of modern forensics - the London Blitz of 1940. When a number of young women are found murdered with swastikas carved on their tongues, DI Freddy Wilkins has a prime suspect in vulnerable loner Wilfred Ziegler. But the passionate and brilliant Home Office pathologist Dr Lennox Collins and his vivacious young secretary Molly Cooper have their doubts. Employing ground-breaking forensic techniques, can Lennox and Molly save a seemingly innocent man from the gallows or is there more to these murders than meets the eye?
Lennox soon finds out that he is not only fighting a battle to modernise the way in which crimes are solved, but he’s also clashing with a government who will go to any lengths to ensure the country’s morale is sustained even if that means covering up a murder.
