The third of SMP's successful adaptations of the critically acclaimed "Cracker" which airs in the US on the A&E channel. Cracker is Dr. Edward Fitzgerald, a down-on-his-luck, drinking, smoking, overweight, almost-divorced police psychiatrist, brilliantly played by Robbie Coltrane. This time out, a young boy is found murdered, his body banging from a tree. All signs point to his English teacher as the killer on what looks like an open-and-shut case. But when police call Fitz to help obtain a confession, the truth proves as elusive as the killer himself.
