Art Detectives

Matt Roush says...

The diverting British mystery series ends its first season with DI Mick Palmer (Stephen Moyer) of the boutique Heritage Crime Unit torn in two directions. As always, there’s a case to solve, this one involving a “locked vault” mystery in which a precious Chinese vase has gone missing following an auction. The investigation turns up a dead body, but Mick is also tracking a missing person closer to home: his crooked father Ron (Larry Lamb), who’s being held hostage by gangsters demanding the return of a painting Ron stole years ago. To get his dad back, Mick’s going to need to bend the rules and go off the book to find the original painting, while his partner, DC Shazia Malik (Nina Singh), stays on task.
