DCI Banks: Season Five

Based on the Inspector Banks Novels

DCI Banks returns for its grittiest season yet with an explosive crime story that weaves through all three feature-length episodes.

When the victim of a frenzied attack is found in the woods, the team wonders if its as random a killing as it initially appears, and when Banks (Stephen Tompkinson, Wild at Heart) uncover a link to local crime boss Steve Richardson (Shaun Dooley, Broadchurch) the mystery begins to take on a grizzly shape. Elsewhere a missing person's case escalates and the team has the painful job of finding out how a recent tragedy occurred. While Chief Superintendent Anderson put pressure on DI Helen Morton (Caroline Catz, Doc Martin) to close the case, Banks becomes increasingly certain this all comes down to one man - crime boss Steve Richards.
