Father Tom Christmas moves to the picturesque English hamlet of Thornford Regis to become its new vicar and to seek a peaceful haven. But inside the empty village hall, the huge Japanese o-daiko drum that's featured in the May Fayre festivities has been viciously sliced open — and curled up inside is the bludgeoned body of Sybella Parry, the daughter of the choir director. Realizing this village is not the refuge he'd hoped for, Father Tom comes to a disturbing conclusion: Sybella's killer must be one of his parishioners.

No one is above suspicion — not Sebastian John, the deeply reserved verger, nor Mitsuko Drewe, a local artist, nor Colonel Northmore, survivor of a World War II prison camp. And over all hangs the long-unsolved mystery of a sudden disappearance, one that brought Father Tom to this picture-perfect place to live — or die.

Ten years ago he was a boy, given the name Thomas Paxton and sent by Revolutionary France to infiltrate the British Intelligence Service. Now his sense of honor brings him back to London, alone and unarmed, to confess. But instead of facing the gallows, he's given one last impossible assignment to prove his loyalty.

Lovely, lying, former French spy Camille Leyland is dragged from her safe rural obscurity by threats and blackmail. Dusting off her spy skills, she sets out to track down a ruthless French fanatic and rescue the innocent victim he's holding — only to find an old colleague already on the case. Pax.

Old friendship turns to new love, and as Pax and Camille's dark secrets loom up from the past, Pax is left with a choice — go rogue from the Service or lose Camille forever …

Inspector Lewis
Series Seven

Kevin Whately and Laurence Fox return for a seventh season of Inspector Lewis series.

Hathaway has been promoted to Inspector after an extended break from the force, and Lewis is adjusting to retired life until he's asked to team up with his old colleague.

Series 7 includes the three feature-length mysteries:

"The Greater Good" — Hathaway gets to work on his first case as an Inspector, with the help of his new partner, DS Lizzie Maddox. Lewis, struggling to adapt to retired life, jumps at the chance to rejoin the force when Superintendent Innocent seeks his help.

"The Lions of Nemea" — After a difficult start, Lewis and Hathaway seem to have settled back into their former relationship, and Maddox has become integral to the team. Their abilities are tested as they investigate the brutal murder of Rose, an American Classics student.

"Beyond Good & Evil" — Thirteen years after Lewis' first successful arrest as a Detective Inspector, the forensics have been called into question and the case re-opened for appeal. Lewis fears the worst but nothing can prepare him for a new string of murders resembling the original murders with the original weapon.
