A Certain Justice: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Commander Adam Dalgliesh is drawn into the inner chambers of the British legal system to investigate the grisly murder of Venetia Aldridge, an ambitious - and widely despised - criminal lawyer. As the list of suspects quickly grows to include several key members of Aldridge's firm, each with an excellent motive for murder, suspicion also falls on Gary Ashe, a murder suspect Venetia recently defended - successfully - and who has since taken up with her daughter Octavia. As Dalgliesh probes Venetia's past, a terrible secret about her father emerges and appears to be linked to her death - as well as to a distinguished member of Chambers.
