5. A Death for a Death
After the suspected murder of a cancer doctor at the local hospital, DCI Kate Duncan draws new conclusions. Stars Haydn Gwynne.
Revelations that two elderly women were killed by experimental drugs not prescribed to them led initial suspicion to fall on their GP, Dr Tom Cready.
But then a cancer specialist died at the local hospital in a suspected murder.
Detective Chief Inspector Kate Duncan now believes that all three victims died because they were involved in decisions refusing the use of expensive new treatments in the NHS.
Starring Haydn Gwynne.
