Murder Rooms tells the story of the relationship between the young Arthur Conan Doyle and his real-life mentor and a noted forensics scientist, Dr. Joseph Bell. The 2-disc set includes four episodes: The Patient's Eyes-A beautiful young woman is haunted by a masked cyclist who pursues her through the woods. To Doyle's surprise, the pursuer is real. And so are the hideous murders connected to a gruesome incident in the Boer War. The Photographer's Chair-Doyle and Bell investigate a serial killer's victims, all of whom bare unusual markings. Doyle looks to a spiritualist for answers and is cautioned about his investigation from beyond the grave. Little does he know about the murderer's plans for his victims in the afterlife. The Kingdom of Bones-When an ancient Egyptian mummy is unwrapped in public, a recently murdered Englishman is found, involving Doyle and Bell in a bombing conspiracy. The White Knight Strategem-Two men with knowledge of a woman's suicide are murdered, setting off a heated disagreement between Bell and an old police rival. At the risk of alienating Bell, Doyle sides with the policeman, but both men prove only partly correct. |
