| Synopsis: | Crime drama series set in the years immediately after the Second World War. Foyle, now working for British Intelligence, is drawn into the world of corrupt Nazi businessmen when London university professor William Knowles is found brutally murdered in a London park. When it transpires that the professor was actually working at the Nuremberg trials, Foyle realises that there are powerful people trying to conceal secrets from the war. It looks as if Knowles may have taken a bribe to carry information back to England for suspected Nazi war criminal Herman Linz. When Linz is found dead, Foyle is under no illusion that foul play is behind the academic's murder. While Foyle investigates the deaths of Knowles and Linz, his unofficial assistant Sam Wainwright decides to step up her role at work and volunteers for a risky undercover job. Foyle, unaware of her pregnancy, agrees. | |
