For Release: August 2 7 , 2007
Two new Lynley mysteries await intrigue fans in September when Mystery! presents "The Inspector Lynley Mysteries VI: Natural Causes" and "One Guilty Deed , " beginning Sunday, Sept. 9 at 9/8 p.m. CT on KET1 and Wednesday, Sept. 12 at 9/8 p.m. CT on KET2.Since Lynley's arrest and suspension for threatening a suspect, Havers has been without a partner. She begins a new case in Kent alongside the heavily pregnant, no-nonsense Detective Inspector Fiona Knight. Together, in "Natural Causes , " they investigate the murder of Edie Covington, whose body has been discovered in a local lake.
Back in London, Lynley attends a disciplinary hearing to determine whether he can return to work. Following the hearing, Lynley begins to help Havers and Knight with their investigations. But, as the case unfolds with the discovery of another body and a kidnapping, Lynley's unofficial involvement may jeopardize his efforts to be reinstated.
Next, in "One Guilty Deed , " airing Sunday, Sept. 16 at 9/8 p.m. CT on KET1 and Wednesday, Sept. 19 at 9/8 pm CT on KET2, Lynley, Havers and DC Winston Nkata are close to bringing down organized crime boss Michael Shand. But then their informant Roger Pollard is shot dead. His body is found on the tidal flats of the Essex marshes, Haver's childhood holiday retreat, and it looks like a contract killing -- a single bullet to the forehead. However, they soon discover there's more to the shooting than meets the eye. The detectives wonder why Pollard was on the south coast when he was supposed to be under police protection in Manchester, and what leads can Carly Baker, who works on a local caravan site, provide.
Mystery! "The Inspector Lynley Mysteries VI" is a co-production of BBC Worldwide and WGBH/Boston. More information about KET programming and education services, as well as how to support KET, can be found at www.ket.org.
