MURDER CALL

'''Murder Call''' was an Australian television series, created by Hal McElroy for the Southern Star Entertainment and seen on the Nine Network between 1997 and 2000. The idea to the series was born by the books of Tessa Vance by Jennifer Rowe: Suspect/Deadline and Something Wicked. Both books were integrated as episodes in the TV series.
With a young high-tech '90's feel and just a touch of 40's retro charm, 'Murder Call' follows a classic clue - puzzle plot, combining mystery, action and suspense, spiked with humour, romance and a touch of the bizarre.
The series dealt with the cases confronted by an unconventional team of homicide detectives, Tessa Vance and Steve Hayden. Backing them up was:

★ The boss - Inspector Malcolm Thorne

★ Pathologist - Dr Imogen Soames

★ Forensic officer - Dr Lance Fisk (he got a Ph.D)

★ Crime scene photographer - Constable Dee Suzeraine
Murder Call was filmed in Sydney and unlike a lot of shows based in Sydney, often shot the less spectacular side of the city.
