The Last Temptation
Synopsis
DCI Carol Jordan takes on her most dangerous undercover role yet, posing as the deceased lover of a criminal in order to help catch an elusive smuggler operating out of Germany. Meanwhile, profiler Tony Hill is drawn into the hunt for a serial killer whose crimes are tangled up with human trafficking.
As their two investigations converge, both Carol and Tony are pulled into a country still wrestling with the buried violence of its past, from Nazi-era atrocities to the abuses of the Stasi. The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes that modern crime here has roots that go back generations.
