Set in Toronto (and occasionally other locations) at the turn of the 20th century, the series follows Detective William Murdoch of Station House No. 4 as he solves homicides using methods and technologies far ahead of his time. Premise and Central Character The series is based on the Detective Murdoch novels by Maureen Jennings (first published in 1997). The protagonist, Detective William Murdoch (played by Yannick Bisson), is a devout Catholic, a man of quiet integrity, and a brilliant, self-taught inventor. His unorthodox methods—using fingerprinting, blood testing, ballistics analysis, and rudimentary forensics—are often met with skepticism by his superiors but are grudgingly respected for their results.
