On U&Alibi
A character-driven forensic mystery anchored in three women's investigation of a personal murder case, balancing procedural rigor with intimate emotional stakes.
Set against the stunning Scottish landscape in and around Dundee, three compelling female characters — Emma Hedges, Prof. Sarah Gordon and Prof. Kathy Torrance — join forces to uncover the truth about an unsolved murder case that's very close to home.
