Set in the Dorset village of Fleetcombe, Death at the White Hart follows Detective Nicola Bridge as she unravels a complex murder mystery following the death of a local pub landlord.

We are delighted that Chris has chosen to work with us to bring this brilliant book to the screen.”
With production set to begin next year and Fremantle handling international distribution, Death at the White Hart is shaping up to be a must-watch addition to ITV’s crime drama lineup. Stay tuned for more updates as the project develops.
