The celebrated New Scotland Yard duo –– Inspector Thomas Lynley and his working-class sidekick, Barbara Havers –– collaborates on two final cases, “Limbo” and “Know Thine Enemy.” Part of the Masterpiece Mystery! series, the programs air Sundays, Aug. 10 and 17 at 9/8 p.m. CT on KET1 and Thursdays, Aug. 14 and 21 at 9/8 p.m. CT on KET2.Six months have passed since the shocking death of Lynley’s wife, Helen, and Havers is concerned that her partner is drowning (and drowning in) his sorrows. As Lynley struggles to come to terms with his grief, he’s unexpectedly drawn back in to the 15-year-old unsolved abduction of his godson. A reconnaissance trip to Rome on behalf of the family ends in a second tragedy — with Lynley at its center. When Lynley is arrested for murder, he and Havers battle against time, the apparent facts of the case and an ambitious professional rival to clear his name and find the real perpetrator.
Next, with his reputation restored, “Know Thine Enemy” finds Lynley back in action as he and Havers try to solve the murder of one schoolgirl and the disappearance of another. Is a serial killer on the loose in suburban London? What is the mother of one of the girls hiding? And who is the mysterious redhead seen with both girls before they disappeared? Honeysuckle Weeks (“Foyle’s War”) and James D’Arcy (“Mansfield Park”) co-star in this psychological chiller, which pushes the detectives’ friendship to the brink and leaves one of them questioning a critical judgment call.
Masterpiece Mystery! “Inspector Lynley Mysteries VII” is produced by WGBH/Boston. More information about KET programming and education services, as well as how to support KET, can be found at www.ket.org.
