Forensic pathologists Professor Leo Dalton, Dr Harry Cunningham and Dr Nikki Alexander return in one of the BBC’s most successful and longest-running crime dramas.

In this series, Leo comes under suspicion for fraud when he cannot produce his post mortem notes for a case he apparently worked on. But before he can prove his innocence, he is violently attacked. Nikki and Harry end up on opposite sides of a high profile case involving the suspicious death of a wealthy banker in her Hampstead home. And Nikki returns to her childhood home of Cape Town when she is hired as a consultant forensic anthropologist by a private investigations firm. Will she be tempted to make her move to South Africa permanent?
