As the leaves begin to fall, so do the bodies in this new adaptation from the pen of Britain's Queen of Crime, P.D. James. "Death in Holy Orders," starring Martin Shaw as Scotland Yard detective Commander Adam Dalgliesh.

"Death in Holy Orders" is set at St. Anselm's, a select theological college on a desolate stretch of Britain's coastline. When a seminary student is found smothered by an avalanche of sand, his influential father demands that Scotland Yard re-examine the verdict of accidental death.

Having spent time at St. Anselm's as a boy, Commander Dalgliesh agrees to pay a visit, expecting no more than a nostalgic return to old haunts and a straightforward examination of the evidence given at the inquest. Things turn out to be less innocent than they seem, and Dalgliesh finds himself embroiled in one of the most horrific and puzzling cases of his career. Other visitors come to the college on the weekend of his arrival, not all with benign intent. One of them will not leave alive.
