Product Description

From Paul Abbott, the much-celebrated author of Reckless and Cracker, comes this contemporary, darkly-edged miniseries starring Robson Green (Reckless, Me & Mrs. Jones) as Detective Inspector Dave Creegan. Follow the exploits of the Organized and Serial Crime Unit (OSC), an FBI-styled rapid-response elite crime squad. Co-stars Nicola Walker (Four Weddings and a Funeral) as Creegan's partner. Then, maverick D.I. Creegan and his partner D.I. Taylor are on the case in three all-new, darkly tinged two-hour dramas. This time out, Creegan, Taylor and the Organized and Serial Crime Unit track a serial kidnapper-murderer whose fatal fascination with young women leaves Creegan with a new scar to bear; a profoundly disturbed relief worker whose nightmares of atrocities committed in Bosnia impel him to erase the memories of fellow aides—permanently; and an international ring of baby brokers. Creegan is back on the job, having recovered from a nervous breakdown. In the first case, he is determined to clear the name of a man he helped convict–a tough task given that the murders began again once the suspected killer got out of jail. Then, a new serial killer terrorizes the city by setting his victims on fire. Will Creegan crack the case before he gets burned?

Customer Reviews

SCARY
ALMOST AS GRITTY AS THE PRIME SUSPECT SERIES. A MUST SEE FOR ROBSON GREEN FANS.

But, is this the full British version?
I notice that all the reviews are US - as am I - but several places with articles about the show indicate that the American version (USA/BBCAmerica) has "changes" but none have indicated what those are. I have a LARGE problem with that, so never buy BBC/Granada etc. products until they are verified to be the actual Brit versions - since the changes are never adding more stuff, but rather always removing "offensive" stuff. If anyone can clarify the situation on this quite excellent series, I would be most appreciative.

Touching Evil is great
I found this series to be well written and compelling. Robson Green's character and his performance are stellar. I think this series is as good as Prime Suspect, though darker and creepier. Positively addictive. I am very upset that there are no more episodes to watch
