"Wire in the Blood" is an ITV television series, based on characters created by Val McDermid, which teams a university clinical psychologist, Dr. Anthony "Tony" Valentine Hill (Robson Green), with a tough female Detective Inspector, originally Carol Jordan (Hermione Norris) but replaced by Detective Inspector Alex Fielding (Simone Lahbib) from series four onwards.

Only the first two episodes of the first series, "Mermaids Singing" and "Shadows Rising", are based on McDermid's books, the rest having been written by others. However, the second episode of series four, "Torment", is an adaptation of McDermid's novel "The Torment of Others". The series has appeared in America on the cable channel BBC America, in Australia on the public channel ABC, in Belgium on Canvas, in Estonia on the public channel ETV, in Finland on TV 1, in Sweden on TV4, in France on NT1, in Germany on ZDF, in Brazil on HBO, in Poland on TVP1 and in South-East Asia on the cable channel the Hallmark Channel.

The title of the series is taken from one of McDermid's novels, but originated as a line in T. S. Eliot's poem "Burnt Norton", one of the "Four Quartets". Several other McDermid novels also use phrases from Eliot, including the story used for first episode of the series. Both that and the first episode of the fourth series take their names from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock".

Plot

The series is set in the fictional town of Bradfield, assumed to lie within West Yorkshire. However, the filming location is the cityscape and surrounding countryside of Newcastle upon Tyne and Northumberland. Each episode usually involves a serial killer.
