Editorial Review:

Description:
Maverick Detective Inspector Dave Creegan (Robson Green, Reckless) and his partner D.I. Susan Taylor (Nicola Walker, Four Weddings and a Funeral) are on the case in three darkly tinged mysteries.

This time out, Creegan, Taylor and the Organized and Serial Crime Unit have their hands full with some deeply disturbed criminals. One is a serial kidnapper-murderer whose fatal fascination with young women leaves Creegan with a new scar to bear. Another is a profoundly disturbed relief worker whose nightmares of atrocities committed in Bosnia impel him to erase the memories of fellow aides—permanently; and the last is an international ring of baby brokers.

Amazon.com:
The first run of Touching Evil in 1999 established this British franchise as a dark, modern noir police series, an almost airless world of gloomy offices bereft of overhead lighting and viewed through a haze of dust and smoke. It's the flip side of British TV's other great cop show, Prime Suspect, but it hums with incisive writing, sharply etched characters, and dramatic intensity, the qualities that make both shows riveting. Robson Green stars as Dave Creegan, the haunted, tightly wrapped investigator whose forehead scar is a constant reminder of his near-death experience. In Touching Evil 2 the Organized and Serial Crime Unit (a fictional police division roughly equivalent to the American FBI) investigates three new cases: a flamboyant serial killer whose murders continue after he's been captured, a wave of relief workers found dead and wrapped in white shrouds, and a baby-broker with ties to a notorious ring of pedophiles. What gives the series its grit is the toll each case takes on the cops. Creegan's confidence is shattered when a miscalculation leaves a girl dead and that misstep haunts him to the devastating series finale. His partner Susan Taylor (Nicola Walker) finds the line between her personal life and her cases blur, and junior squad member Mark Rivers (Shaun Dingwell) goes through a tormenting trial by fire--and trial under fire--to prove his courage and his competence to the unit and to himself. Police stories have rarely been more frank or uncompromising. --Sean Axmaker
