Robbie Coltrane returns as "Fitz," the criminal psychologist with problems of his own. This shocking and surprising second series pulls no punches. Anyone could be a victim- and anyone could cross the line.

A chain-smoking gambler, who leans heavily on the bottle, Fitz can easily impress with an uncanny insight into the workings of the criminal mind. But he can aggravate and alienate even his closest friends. Currently Fitz is at odds with the local police, whom he has managed to enrage one time too many.
