DCI Alma Blair and DS Jason Trotter investigate murder in the Geography Department of an unspecified Russell Group university in the North of England. Where academics rub shoulders and, indeed, other parts of the body with students and administrators.
A place where the students think they know everything, the academics know they know everything and the secretaries actually know everything.
Alma has worked her way up the ranks from making the tea for the families of murder victims to ordering Jason to make the tea. She knows she knows best. Jason should know better.
This is Series 2 of Val McDermid's "Dead" shows for Radio 4. Deadheading came first, and Dead Pan and Dead Weight follow it.
