Roy Marsden stars in a six episode version of P.D. James Adam Dalguish mystery., 14 July 2001
9/10
Author: Dick Gardner (RickyofL) from Hacienda Heights, Calif.

This is a very intense mini series set on the Norfolk coast of England involving a Nuclear facility and a serial murderer. The cast includes several outstanding players in addition to Marsden, most notably Susannah York and Gemma Jones. Kate Beckinsale appears in a short sequence in episode 2. Marsden plays his part softly and without bravado. It is an intense mystery involving a wide range of individuals including local residents and nuclear plant employees. Certainly one of the outstanding examples of P.D. James mystery writing.
