Frank Marker has a lucrative case but again he is on the verge of turning it down.
Mrs Helen Kulman arrives in a chauffeured car. She is a renowned psychologist but she does not immediately disclose this to Marker. Her late husband ran a construction company with his brother.
Mrs Kulman's son Peter committed suicide recently. He jumped off a building that was being constructed by the family firm.
Mrs Kulman realises that he killed himself but wants to find out what led him to make that fateful decision.
Marker is unsure but decides to take up the case. He realises that Peter's brother and uncle are less than helpful. They may even have something to hide.
Written by Trevor Preston. There is more location filming in this episode. You even see shots of Windsor Castle.
It is another character piece and Marker knows that this case is off the beaten path. There seems to be no sense of foul play but there might be hints that something untowards might have happened to Peter.
There was a nice touch that Mrs Kulman seems to have a bit of OCD and that this might off rubbed off on Peter. I also liked how some people value Frank Marker's opinion. What a contrast from the previous season when he was just an ex con.
This features an early appearance from David Suchet. He was only 25 years old but he could easily pass for a much older character.
