Detective William Murdoch uses emerging science such as ballistics and profiling to solve the most dreadful crimes in Victorian-era Toronto.

Characters adapted from the novels by Maureen Jennings. Winner of three Geminiª Awards, this sassy-smart Victorian-era whodunit stars Yannick Bisson (Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye) as Detective William Murdoch, a police investigator who employs emerging science to solve Toronto's most dreadful murders. He experiments with ballistics, psychological profiling, and other newly developed techniques, despite the doubts of his tradition-bound boss (Thomas Craig, Where the Heart Is). Together with a beautiful pathologist (Geminiª-winner Hélène Joy, Durham County) and an able protégé (Jonny Harris, Hatching, Matching & Dispatching), Murdoch encounters some of the era's most famous-and infamous-figures, from Buffalo Bill Cody to Jack the Ripper. Guest stars include Nicholas Campbell (Da Vinci's Inquest, Cinderella Man), Sarah Strange (Men in Trees), and Alastair Mackenzie (Monarch of the Glen). Special features: Disc one: Behind-the-scenes featurette; Disc four: Props of Murdoch mysteries (PDF); photo gallery; cast filmographies; character bios.
