Doctor Foster star Bertie Carvel plays the title role in Channel 5 and Acorn's new adaptation of PD James’ bestselling Inspector Dalgliesh books.
Set in the mid 1970s, Carvel (The Sister) plays the policeman and published poet Adam Dalgliesh, while the series is set against the picturesque backdrop of the English countryside
Beginning in the mid 1970s in England, the series follows Inspector Adam Dalgliesh, a reserved, enigmatic detective and widower who is still grieving his wife's death, and struggles to form new romantic attachments as a result.
According to a Channel 5 synopsis, the series "follows Dalgliesh’s career to present day as he solves unusual murders and reveals buried secrets," while each of the three murder mysteries "will offer its own unique setting and extraordinary cast".
The three stories to be adapted are “Shroud for a Nightingale,” “The Black Tower," and “A Taste for Death". The first, Shroud for a Nightingale, was published in 1971.
In Shroud for a Nightingale, the story focuses on the young women of Nightingale House, where they learn to nurse the sick. However, when a student is killed, Dalgliesh must hunt down a murderer who seems to believe that murder is a cure for all ills.
