Wire in the Blood was a British crime drama television series, created and produced by Coastal Productions for the ITV network that ran from 2002 to 2009. The series is based on characters created by Val McDermid: a university clinical psychologist, Dr. Anthony "Tony" Valentine Hill , who is able to tap into his own dark side to get inside the heads of serial killers. Working with detectives, Hill takes on tough and seemingly impenetrable cases in an attempt to track down the killers before they strike again. The series is set in the fictional town of Bradfield,... which is assumed to lie within West Yorkshire. It follows the Major Incident Team of Bradfield Metropolitan Police's CID and the assistance provided to the detectives by clinical psychologist and serial offender profiler Dr. Tony Hill. All of the main episodes revolve around a serial killer whom Hill helps to track down by means of a profile, based on the killer's actions. It is unusual in that rather than finding a serial killer, Hill ends up examining the guilt of the suspect already on trial. From Series 1 to 3, the MIT is headed by Detective Inspector Carol Jordan.
