A body discovered at the border between Britain and France brings together two detectives with sharply different methods. Karl Roebuck and Elise Wassermann must work across languages, institutions and personal assumptions as their investigations expose crimes that cross the same boundaries. In the second series, a major incident draws Elise into contact with Eryka Klein, whose connection to the case becomes increasingly complicated. Their attraction opens an unfamiliar space in Elise’s carefully managed life, and the growing relationship cannot be separated from questions of trust and divided loyalties. The series combines an international crime investigation with the consequences of allowing someone close when the facts surrounding them remain uncertain.
