This film was last shown on 23 August 2016

Expert plotting and nuanced characterisation mark this skilful adaptation of a Ruth Rendell novel, where tangled loyalties, desire and revenge all come together with compelling aplomb. Past and present interweave as the events of a terrible night come back to haunt those involved: two policemen, their spouses and the young man accused of pulling the trigger.
