Alma and Jason follow the money to find intrigue on a market stall.

Jason and Alma follow the money to find intrigue on a market stall. Crime comedy starring Julie Hesmondhalgh. From June 2014.

Best selling crime writer Val McDermid's muderous allotment comedy. Julie Hesmondhalgh, Miriam Margolyes and John Hollingworth star in the wild habitat of the detective story, deftly narrated by Jonathan Keeble.

In the animal kingdom, there are a handful of primary directives that supersede everything else. Food, shelter, that kind of thing. In the detective story, it's the same principle. Suspects, motives, interviews. Nobody understands that better than the Alpha lioness of the pride - aka Detective Chief Inspector Alma Blair.

In Episode 3, Alma and Jason follow the money to intrigue on a market veg stall.

Sound Designer: Eloise Whitmore
Writer: Val McDermid
