Cutting-edge Victorian science meets cunningly plotted mystery in this 'stylish period thriller' (The Globe and Mail, Canada). in the 1890s, Detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson, Sue Thomas: F. B. Eye) adopts modern techniques like finger marks and forensics to track Toronto's most sinister killers. Though derided by his skeptical boss (Thomas Craig, Where the Heart Is), Murdoch finds friends and allies in a lovely pathologist (Gemini-winner HTlFne Joy, Durham County) and an eager-to-learn constable (Jonny Harris, Hatching, Matching & Dispatching). Along the way they cross paths with some of the era's most famous figures, including Nikola Tesla, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Prince Alfred.
