Stuart Campbell stars in the brand new series of Shetland
The BBC has confirmed that the news season will be just as gripping as the last, but this time things get tricky for Tosh when a double missing person’s case blurs the lines between the personal and the professional.
Calder and Tosh are drawn into a labyrinthine investigation when Tosh’s friend, Annie Bett, goes missing and she suspects something is seriously wrong. Ruth Calder – now living in Shetland – has no time to recover from a life-threatening ordeal of her own, as together they set out in search of Annie and her young son, Noah. They discover accountant Annie is estranged from her husband, Ian, and has been staying with mussel farmer John Harris and his two sons, Patrick and Fergus. Worryingly, there’s no sign of Annie there either.
Calder follows Tosh’s instincts and looks for Annie at the home she shared with Ian. There, they discover Professor Euan Rossi who claims to have been Annie’s Oxford University tutor many years ago. Suspicions are stirred when Tosh and Calder learn Rossi travelled all the way to Shetland after Annie left him a distressed voicemail the night she vanished. Calder can’t shake the feeling there’s more to Rossi than meets the eye.
Meanwhile, at the station, Calder delves deeper into another case involving a deadly argument between two brothers. The missing persons investigation draws Tosh and Calder into a web of lies and when a bloodied person turns up at a remote garage, nothing can prepare the team for what lies ahead.
Shetland season 9 will be available on BBC1 and BBC iPlayer from Wednesday November 6th
