by Peter Lovesey, adapted by Geoffrey M. Matthews
with Barry Foster as Sergeant Cribb and John Cater as Constable Thackeray

Among fashion conscious Victorians, Jerome K. Jerome's novel Three Men in a Boat is the inspiration for countless boat-trips on the Thames.

Out for a swim, Harriet Shaw notices an unlikely-looking threesome. The next day a tramp is found drowned. The three men become the chief suspects. Harriet is the key witness. And Cribb and Thackeray take to the water in hot pursuit.
