Description
Cracker star Robbie Coltrane returns to ITV crime drama in a new thriller told from three different perspectives.
Murderland tells a traumatic murder story through the eyes of three central characters: Carrie, the daughter of the murdered woman, Hain, the detective in charge of the investigation and Sally, the murder victim. Clever and compelling, Murderland poses the question - can you move on from terrible unexplained events that befall you as a child, and grow up to make a new life? Or will you be forever trapped, haunted, unable to live fully until you know the truth?
Murderland is a knife edge thriller of revenge, redemption and rough justice, where three different perspectives eventually piece together the truth. As the investigation unfolds, Carrie's yearning to discover who murdered her mother becomes obsessive bringing her closer to Gordon Hain. In the end Carrie holds the key to the killer, but is the past sometimes better laid to rest when those you trust have the most to hide, and chillingly are now the people from whom you may have most to fear....
