Review

David Brown

To silver fox DI Mick Palmer (Stephen Moyer), a suspect’s lipstick isn’t just red but “cadmium red — Francis Bacon’s trademark” . He sees life through the prism of painters, hence his job as the sole member of the Heritage Crime Unit. Though it won’t take a sleuth of Mick’s calibre to deduce that, after making the acquaintance of DC Shazia Malik (Nina Singh), he won’t be a one-man band for long.

Theirs is an engaging partnership — he with his cerebral nature and cups of tea poured through a strainer, she with her instinctive nous and ability to rugby-tackle any person of interest.
