The case begins with the murder of concert pianist Pasha Verdinikov, initially believed to be shot dead during a burglary, but Neville (Ralf Little) quickly becomes suspicious that the scene had been staged.

Eventually, evidence emerges that links the crime to another case from decades earlier, setting the stage for the return of Sara Martins' DS Camille Bordey and Ben Miller's DI Richard Poole.

This exclusive clip comes just prior to the investigation getting underway, as Parker has a somewhat awkward exchange with Commissioner Selwyn Patterson (Don Warrington) as he attempts to adopt some island fashion.
