Brian Cox stars as McLevy with Siobhán Redmond as Jean Brash and Michael Perceval-Maxwell as Mulholland in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation.
Inspired by the real-life memoirs of a Victorian Inspector in Scotland, James McLevy prowls the dark streets of 1860s Edinburgh bringing criminals to justice, with the assistance of Constable Mulholland.
In 'The Second Shadow', counterfeiters are at work in the city and McLevy is under pressure to secure rapid convictions. But his mind is more on the deliciously immoral Jean Brash - is he becoming jealous of the male company she keeps?
Written by David Ashton.
Directed by Patrick Rayner.
