Description

New Zealand-set returning crime series.

Detective Inspector Mike Shepherd arrives on assignment in Brokenwood, a small town where memories and animosities run deep. He’s an experienced cop with a 1971 classic car, a collection of country music cassettes and an indeterminate number of ex-wives. The new woman in his life is his assistant, Detective Kristin Sims, a by-the-book investigator nearly 20 years younger than her boss’s car, who quickly has to get used to his lone-wolf ways.

As Shepherd adapts to the slower pace of life away from the city, he soon discovers that Brokenwood is a place of secrets and suspicions. Everyone and everything is connected, and the serenity of the countryside can easily be shattered by violence and death.
