SeriesMcLevy in the New World: Series 1

1. Shake Hands With The Devil

McLevy

Available for over a year

Part 1: Shake Hands With The Devil Brian Cox returns as Inspector James McLevy in a new two-part adventure by David Ashton. At the end of the last series, Jean and the Inspector fled from Leith on a steamer bound for San Francisco. McLevy was accused of killing two suspects, assaulting his chief constable, and indirectly causing the death of Lieutenant Roach. Faced with career-ending disgrace he opts to scarper – and Jean, gallantly but perhaps rashly, decides to go with him. They arrive in San Francisco at the height of the Gold Rush in 1849 like two innocents in a shark pool. Well, maybe not quite so innocent… McLevy ..... BRIAN COX Jean Brash .....
