The Pembrokeshire Murders
Created by Nick Stevens
On ITV1
A taut, procedurally-driven true-crime drama that pairs cold-case investigation with the pressure of a ticking clock before a killer's release.
Detective superintendent reopens two unsolved murder cases from the 1980s. Forensic methods link the crimes to a string of burglaries. Steve's team has to find more evidence before the perpetrator is released from prison.
