5.0 out of 5 stars what a great introduction, May 27, 2008

As a Wire in the Blood fan for eons, I can tell you first hand that if you are not already hooked on the series, "Prayer of the Bone" is a super way to introduce yourself. But beware... watch this one-off and you'll likely be buying full seasons going forward.

Wire In The Blood is an ITV television series, based on characters created by Val McDermid, which teams a university clinical psychologist, Dr. Anthony "Tony" Valentine Hill (Robson Green), with a tough female Detective Inspector, originally Carol Jordan (Hermione Norris) but replaced by Detective Inspector Alex Fielding (Simone Lahbib) from series four onwards -- (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Prayer of the Bone
Original Air Date: 7 January 2008
Story line and plot, Tony Hill (Robson Green) finds himself in unfamiliar surroundings when he travels to Texas to assist the local district attorney in the case of Darius Grady (Brad Hawkins) who is accused of murdering his wife and two children --- Tony had already met Grady when the latter was stationed at a US military base near Bradfield and was charged with the rape of a local 15-year old --- He was sent home by the military before he could be prosecuted in the UK but is using the same defense in the murder of his family as he did then: that he is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder resulting from his service in Iraq --- While he doesn't find that Grady is suffering from PTSD, Tony finds far too many holes in the case for him to believe Grady is guilty.

the cast includes:
Robson Green ... Dr. Tony Hill
Brad Hawkins ... Darius Grady
Merrille McCommas ... Julie Rice
Naima Imani Lett ... Anita Addison
Dell Johnson ... Sheriff Phelps
Ryan Rutledge ... Amare Phelps

This review is from: Wire in the Blood: Prayer of the Bone (DVD)

I own the complete set of Wire in the Blood and it is one of the best psychological crime dramas I've ever watched. Robson Green is magnificent as Tony Hill the Criminal Psychologist who profiles criminals and murders. I'm also a big fan of Criminal Minds, but Wire in the Blood is more explicit and raw at times and it keeps you rivited to your seat. For people who are into crime series and especially the psychological aspect of the criminal mind you don't get any better than Tony Hill.
