The indomitable DCI Vera Stanhope, assisted by her trusted colleague, DS Joe Ashworth, steps up for another series of challenging cases. She investigates the mysterious death of a pensioner on a busy commuter train (On Harbour Street), unearths a thirty year mystery after a brutal murder on the sands of a seaside resort (Protected), unpicks the tragic last months of a failed novelist gunned down on a remote Northumberland moor (The Deer Hunters), and delves into the tangled life of a businessman found floating in the water under the Gateshead Millennium Bridge (Death of a Family Man). Inspired by the novels written by renowned crime writer Ann Cleeves, and filmed against a backdrop of outstanding Northumberland landscapes and atmospheric production, each enthralling story is enhanced by the captivating performance of Brenda Blethyn as this shambolic yet brilliant detective.平霄云咬着牙，道：“我辈守护九重天大陆一世，纵百死也无辞，却不知法尊大人有何安排，尽管吩咐便是：我等尽都是一把老骨头了，更迟迟不能突破崩灵陷天破碎虚空最后一关，也没有几年活头了，就将这条命与天魔拼了便是！天魔纵强，我等以死周旋，搏个同归于尽总有希望吧！”
