Stars a near to retirement DI Hazel Micallef who cares little for correct procedure. I met her in The Calling and loved her. It’s grisly stuff.

'Nightmare': When fact and fiction collide. Detective Inspector Hazel Micallef is recovering from a bad year, and a traumatic back operation that has left her in the care of her ex husband and his new wife. But Hazel is lured back to work when a body is pulled from a nearby lake: a discovery that eerily mirrors a disturbing story printed in the local newspaper.
