Episode 1: After the Fall - Part One

Summary

Part one of two. The return of the crime drama following the work of a team of forensic pathologists. The apparent suicide of a DJ leads Nikki to question her judgement in a strikingly similar case from her past and she brings the potential mistake to the attention of her colleagues, but the news threatens to have repercussions for the family of the deceased, the police and the Lyell Centre. The fresh evidence leads to the conclusion that a copycat killer is at large and Nikki finds evidence that an intruder has been entering her home. Emilia Fox stars

Except that the case bears striking similarities to a previous case of hers, and soon she’s creeping anxiously around in a dark place, holding a torch, on her own, with someone out to get her…
