Synopsis | Dr Doris Boffin has a case that requires the assistance of Inspector Whalley, Constable Hitchcock and criminal profiler Julie Bright - and she won't accept any of their excuses for not helping. 'Wild Goose' is available with two other episodes in Inspector Whalley's Casebook - Volume 2. |
