Synopsis

‘Altogether an enjoyable performance, one of Mr Hill’s best’ Financial Times

When Mary Dinwoodie is found choked in a ditch following a night out with her boyfriend, a mysterious caller phones the local paper with a quotation from Hamlet. The career of the Yorkshire Choker is underway.

And meanwhile the Choker strikes again – and again...
