Deceit

A gripping four-part drama which examines the controversial honeytrap at the heart of the high-pressure investigation into the murder of Rachel Nickell in 1992 London. Five months on from the crime, The Met Police are still no closer to capturing the man they're convinced is responsible. The evidence points to Colin Stagg. The media feed a national obsession, covering every detail of the case. The police are determined to catch the man who, in their eyes, is guilty before he kills again. In desperation, the relatively young Detective Inspector leading the case, Keith Pedder, engages the nation's most famous criminal profiler, Paul Britton, to help devise a bold undercover operation which will see an attractive, young female officer start a relationship with an innocent man, Colin Stagg.
