Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The heir to London's Dupayne Museum has died in a suspicious fire and it's up to Commander Dalgliesh (Martin Shaw) to crack the case in this mystery based on the best-selling novel by author P.D. James. It seems that the infernal crime bears a striking resemblance to a notorious case from the Murder Room, and though Commander Dalgliesh soon begins to make headway in solving the difficult crime, the strain that the case is having on his relationship with Emma (Samantha Bond) is only exceeded by the endless hours he's been putting into the investigation. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
