This groundbreaking real-life detective series returns with a brand-new season, and a brand new location: HARRIS COUNTY, TX. We’re also back with the top men and women working homicides in DALLAS, LOUISVILLE, MINNEAPOLIS, MIAMI and BIRMINGHAM. We go behind the police tape with detectives as they work their toughest new cases, interrogate their most resistant suspects, and battle the law of the streets, where helping the police is sometimes considered a crime worse than murder.
