Just noticed that 'Wire in the Blood' returns to BBCA tonight, Sun, at 8 pn EDT and encored at `11 pm EDT. Checked next Sun, also appears to be a new episode, so perhaps it's a whole season, aired on Sun nights, instead of the old Mon sched.
Picked up "One Good Turn" and coud hardly put it down. Not a book you can just skim through, pretty involved plot.
Yep, Season 5.
Robson Green fan here.
The first episode was filmed in Texas. (Looks like it’s gonna be an anti-death penalty sermon.)

Season 5 episodes:
Episode One: Prayer of the Bone
In the season premiere, Dr. Tony Hill (Robson Green) finds himself a fish out of water when he’s invited to Texas as an expert witness in a case where an Iraq combat veteran has confessed to brutally slaughtering his wife and two young children. His defense team claims that he’s suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, but the prosecution asks Tony, who met with the soldier in the UK, to join them in disproving that claim. Alone in a strange country, surrounded by hostile lawyers and police, Tony finds himself at the center of a death penalty case with competing legal and political interests. He’s insulted, threatened, framed, and physically attacked while the case takes a strange turn. Everyone seems to have a vested interest in the case - everyone except the suspect, who strangely seems determined to die.
Episode one premieres Sunday, April 6th at 8pm et/pt.
Episode Two: The Color of Amber
When a woman sees a young girl being snatched by a man in a car, DI Alex Fielding (Simone Lahbib) fears they may only have hours to get her back alive. Since only one percent of the victims in abduction cases survive beyond a day, new ACC James Morrison (Christopher Colquhoun) reacts by calling an Amber alert, which floods the media with public pleas for information. He also pulls Tony in to help with profiling likely abductors.
Episode two premieres Sunday, April 13th at 8pm et/pt.
Episode Three: Nocebo
Alex investigates the murder of a teenage girl and a young boy, who bear signs of ritual killings. The trail leads to a property tycoon who’ll stop at nothing to get the rent, a preacher whose healing activities involve animal sacrifice, and a self-styled artist whose works not only depict violence, but are painted in blood. Tony puzzles over what the killer might want to gain and why. Is this religion? And is it one killer or two, with one suspect the acolyte of another?
Episode three premieres Sunday, April 20th at 8pm et/pt.
Episode Four: The Names of Angels
Two women are found raped and strangled, wearing the clothing of victims killed years earlier in Europe. Is the killer boasting to police about past crimes, leaving bodies where they can easily be found? And why is he choosing victims from the business world? As Tony tries to unravel the deadly puzzle, he’s confronted by an unpleasant distraction - an 18-year-old released killer turns up on his doorstep.
Episode four premieres Sunday, April 27th at 8pm et/pt.
Episode Five: Anything You Can Do
When a vulnerable elderly woman is suffocated in her home, Alex and Tony suspect Bernard Kelly (Ian Peck), a security guard who has a dysfunctional relationship with his mother and was seen at the scene of the crime by several witnesses. But when the killings escalate, it appears to be the work of more than one murderer. Could the deaths be connected to the sudden return of Tony’s old hero, respected psychologist Jonathan Goode?
Episode five premieres Sunday, May 4th at 8pm et/pt.
Just yelled to my wife to tell her what I just read on FR. She is already recording it on DVR. Is Carol Jordan going to be in this one? Those two made a great pair and maybe they will finally get together. Gee I sound like a real TV nut. This is actually a great under rated show.
Doesn’t appear to be in this one..at least not at the halfway mark. It’s just him in Texas, as a expert witness on PTSD.
Man! What a night for TV. Keen Eddie, Wire in the Blood, and Dexter...all in one evening! 8o)
