Written by Sarah Phelps, the BBC crime thriller is set to deliver "a dark psychological mystery" when it hits our screens.

And these images, released exclusively to RadioTimes.com, give a hint of what's to come...

Dublin Murders

The series has been adapted from Tana French's Dublin Murder Squad novels, and the first eight episodes explore the events of the first two novels: In the Woods, and The Likeness. According to the BBC synopsis, one of our victims is "a young talented ballerina who is found dead on an ancient stone altar."

Detectives Reilly and Maddox are at the centre of the story – but what is their relationship?
