Written by Katherine Thomson
Directed by Ken Cameron Australia: July 07, 2002 (finale) Canada: Sunday, August 18, 2002
Starring
Jane Halifax comes across a chilling case when she suspects a client she is assessing might be caught up in a murder investigation. Frail, timid, and suffering a mental illness, Ellie Potson presents to Jane as a woman dominated by her partner, Karen. When Jane tries to separate the two, believing them to be in a dangerous co-dependent relationship, she quickly finds herself drawn into their macabre world. Note: Look for a cameo appearance by writer Katherine Thomson during the scene at the book signing. She asks Jane to dedicate a copy of her book to "Roger", presumably a reference to the series' producers Roger Simpson and Roger Le Mesurier. Note: Jane's new true-crime novel is titled "Lies of the Mind", which is the title of a previous Halifax fp movie. |
