这是威尔士S4电视台1994年开播的一部凶案推理剧集。曾出演《最后的莫西干人》和《DoctorWho》的威尔士著名男星PhilipMadoc在本剧中成功的塑造了威尔士惊叹NoelBavaria这一经典形象。Bavaria具有与生俱来的破案能力，他不依靠任何现代科学技术的协助，纯粹本能的直觉，聪明的材质，缜密的推理来破获多起重大案件。但与此同时，Bavaria也得罪了一大批黑帮恶徒，他必须保护自己以及宝贝女儿的生命。整部剧集格调阴暗，画面凄凉，我们几乎找不到威尔士的田园美景。全剧以高度的真实性和演员们的出色表演使各大权威电视媒体将其与《窥探者》（Cracker）和《摩西督查》（SupervisionofMoses）并称为英国最出色的犯罪心理题材系列剧。PhilipMadocplayedDetectiveChiefInspectorNoelBain,wholooksbacknostalgicallytothedayswhenpolicinginvolvedchasingvillains,playingruggeranddrinkingGuinness,buthascometorecognisethatcontemporarypolicingimposesdilemmasthatnotrainingmanualcouldevercontemplate.Bainisawidowerandhasatempestuousrelationshipwithhisdaughter,HannahBain,(FionWilkins)who,despiteresentingthelackoftimeherfatherspentwiththefamilybecauseofpolicework,becomesaWPConthesamepoliceforce.DCIBain'sclosefriendshipwithpolicepathologistProf.MargaretEdwards(SharonMorgan)remainsenigmaticashefearstreadingthesamepaththatcausedsomanyproblemsforhisfamily.
