      A series of seven telemovies starring Colin Friels as detective Jack Kempson.

      As Screen Australia describes the series, 'Jack, an idealistic cop, is sent down to the archives to rot after turning whistle blower. Instead, he sets out to crack a series of old unsolved cases.' (Sighted: 19/4/2013)

      The series is sometimes divided by production order into the pilot (Murder Archive), the Trilogy (Sweet Science, In The Money, and Ace Point Game), and the Second Trilogy (Dead Memory, At The Gates, and Ghosts).
