- Dr Lucien Blake left Ballarat as a young man. But now he finds himself returning to take over his dead father's medical practice. And one of the unwanted duties his father left him is the on-call role of police surgeon. Set in the gothic gold rush town of Ballarat in 1959. The wealth that built its grand architecture is long gone - but not the mysteries, murder and deceit that linger beneath the surface of its faded glory.
- Accompanied by haunting memories of his service time in World War II, Dr Lucian Blake returns home to Australia after 30 years to take over his deceased father's medical practice. As he deals with his own personal loss and changed by his war experiences, the wry, personable doctor performs his other role as police surgeon with gusto. His unconventional and unpredictable manner unnerve some, but it becomes clear Dr Blake is ahead of his time in his use of forensic science, and in his own understanding of the human heart, to help solve murder mysteries in the country town of Ballarat.
