Robson Green (Reckless) stars as the smart, sexy, brash, and slightly mysterious Detective Inspector Dave Creegan in these three gripping and gritty mysteries that follow the exploits of the Organized and Serial Crime Unit.

Maverick police detective Creegan is the newest member of London’s Organized and Serial Crime Unit (OSC), an elite, rapid-response crime squad. The OSC uses their diverse crime-fighting skills to bring justice to society. Along with his stalwart partner D.I. Susan Taylor (Nicola Walker, Four Weddings and a Funeral), Creegan squares off against some of England’s most dangerous criminals–a serial murderer of children, a killer intent on murdering hospital patients, and a cyber-criminal who lures young Web-surfers with a gothic fantasy game and manipulates them into committing violent crimes.

From Paul Abbott, the much-celebrated author of Reckless and Cracker, comes this contemporary, darkly-edged miniseries starring Robson Green (Reckless, Me & Mrs. Jones) as Detective Inspector Dave Creegan.

Then, maverick D.I. Creegan and his partner D.I. Taylor are on the case in three all-new, darkly tinged two-hour dramas. This time out, Creegan, Taylor and the Organized and Serial Crime Unit track a serial kidnapper-murderer whose fatal fascination with young women leaves Creegan with a new scar to bear; a profoundly disturbed relief worker whose nightmares of atrocities committed in Bosnia impel him to erase the memories of fellow aides—permanently; and an international ring of baby brokers. Creegan is back on the job, having recovered from a nervous breakdown. In the first case, he is determined to clear the name of a man he helped convict–a tough task given that the murders began again once the suspected killer got out of jail. Then, a new serial killer terrorizes the city by setting his victims on fire.

Maverick Detective Inspector Dave Creegan (Robson Green, Reckless) and his partner D.I. Susan Taylor (Nicola Walker, Four Weddings and a Funeral) are on the case in three darkly tinged mysteries.

This time out, Creegan, Taylor and the Organized and Serial Crime Unit have their hands full with some deeply disturbed criminals. One is a serial kidnapper-murderer whose fatal fascination with young women leaves Creegan with a new scar to bear. Another is a profoundly disturbed relief worker whose nightmares of atrocities committed in Bosnia impel him to erase the memories of fellow aides—permanently; and the last is an international ring of baby brokers.

Someone has developed a Web site that manipulates young users into committing violent crimes: Amathus, the site's featured gothic fantasy game, coaches players through a series of violent "tests"—from mutilating horses to homicide. <P>Detective Inspector Dave Creegan (Robson Green, Reckless and Me & Mrs. Jones) and his partner D.I. Susan Taylor (Nicola Walker, Four Weddings and a Funeral) zero in on a group of local college students when murder becomes the name of the game. Examining a bizarre manner in which the bodies of their victims have been mutilated, Creegan realizes it mirrors a notorious case of fifteen years ago involving a now-incarcerated prostitute, Justine Barber (Linda Henry). He suspects that the elusive Amathus Webmaster (Toby Salaman) is obsessed with Justine and enlists her support as decoy to catch him. Meanwhile, another member of the OSC team, D.S. Jonathan Kreitman (Adam Kotz), struggles to face down his own personal demons, and chooses his own brand of justice over the law.

Detective Inspector Dave Creegan (Robson Green, Reckless and Me & Mrs. Jones) , his partner D.I. Susan Taylor (Nicola Walker, Four Weddings and a Funeral), and the Organized Serial Crime (OSC) Unit are called in to investigate the suspicious deaths of three London hospital patients, all killed within hours of each other by a drug that none had been prescribed.

Again, the clues are few and enigmatic: Each victim sports a patch of bare skin with a faint outline of "Let me go" tattooed upon it—and each was treated by Dr. Elizabeth Walker (Kika Markham), an outspoken advocate of euthanasia. Under questioning from Creegan and Taylor, Walker admits to having partially erased one of the messages, which, she says, actually read "Let me go back." <P>The case cuts too close to the bone for Creegan, who, having survived a bullet to the head, is painfully reminded of his own near-death experience. Investigating further, Creegan confirms that all three victims had at one time clinically died and were subsequently resuscitated. Certain that he and the killer, like the victims, share in common a "trip to the other side," Creegan sets a seductive trap only to find himself ensnared.

Three children have been abducted. The only clues are a daffodil, a yellow Volvo, and the testimony of a deranged psychic who has seen their eventual murder "through the clouds." Detective Inspector Dave Creegan (Robson Green, Reckless and Me & Mrs. Jones) is hell-bent on finding the missing boys before it's too late, by whatever means necessary, however unorthodox, and whatever the price. <P>Creegan discovers that the disappearance of the boys and the curious disposition of daffodils recall a similar unsolved incident in Stuttgart several years before. And when it's determined that the owner of the Volvo is pharmaceutical engineer Dr. Ronald Hinks (Ian McDiarmid, Star Wars), formerly of Stuttgart, the case seems straightforward enough. But when searches of Hinks's residence and laboratory, at home and abroad, yield no hard evidence, it looks like the smug scientist is going to get away with murder. Time is running short—and if the kidnapper remains true to form, the boys are still alive. For now.

Locked in a stalemate with Hinks and desperate to find the children, Creegan decides to take matters into his own hands—and a shocking climax reveals that Hinks has not completely dodged justice. <P>Special DVD features include: link to the Mystery! Web site; scene selections; and closed captions.
