Description:
Lynda La Plante -- creator of the award-winning Prime Suspect, widely regarded as the ultimate intelligent crime drama -- scores again with Trial & Retribution. From the scene of the crime to the tactics in the courtroom, these British thrillers explore the bitter internal rivalries among police investigators, the political pressures of high-profile cases, and the legal maneuverings of defense attorneys and prosecutors. As always, La Plante plumbs the emotional depths of her characters with dark and often disturbing results.
In these riveting, feature-length mysteries, police probe an abandoned house concealing multiple murders, a dysfunctional family with a deeply troubled musical prodigy, the mysterious disappearance of a well-connected woman, and a shadowy sex club for London’s elite.
Starring David Hayman (Hope and Glory), Kate Buffery (Wish Me Luck), and Victoria Smurfit (About a Boy), with guest stars Charles Dance, Gemma Jones, Ben Cross, Tim McInnerny, and Simon Callow.
DVD Special Features Includes: interviews with David Hayman, Victoria Smurfit, and Colin Salmon; text description of the Criminal Investigation Department; and Lynda La Plante biography.

Description:
Created and written by Lynda La Plante-"the playwright laureate of women crime-stoppers" (NPR's Weekend Edition)-this British series displays the same hard-bitten sensibility and emotional resonance that made Prime Suspect a television landmark. Each drama follows a single case from crime to conclusion. Every twist in the investigation and turn in the trial realistically depict an imperfect system in which justice doesn't always triumph. Along the way, La Plante takes an unblinking look at the psychological scars that violence leaves on its victims, and its investigators.
In these three feature-length mysteries, police probe a young man's abduction on his honeymoon, the mysterious death of a teenage girl, and a string of brutal murders perpetrated by a serial killer.
Starring David Hayman (Hope and Glory) and Victoria Smurfit (About a Boy), with guest stars Greg Wise, Claire Bloom, David Calder, Gemma Jones, Michael Fassbender, and Michael Brandon. Contains graphic scenes.

Description:
Lynda La Plante (Prime Suspect) brings her trademark intensity and depth of characterization to this gripping British crime series. Each feature-length drama traces a crime from commission to courtroom, revealing the complex motives and machinations of the police, the accused, and the attorneys. At the same time, the series never loses sight of the victims and their families, compassionately showing the scars left as a consequence of crime.
David Hayman (Hope and Glory) and Victoria Smurfit (About a Boy) star as DCS Mike Walker and DCI Roisin Connor, two former rivals who share a fanatical devotion to their profession. In these three cases, they investigate a schoolteacher’s murder complicated by racial tensions, the tragic death of a toddler, and the killing of a politically prominent couple in their home. Created by the "playwright laureate of women crime-stoppers" (NPR’s Weekend Edition), this unflinching detective drama boasts innovative direction and daring storytelling.
