December 1942. The death of Grace Phillips, a young worker in a local munitions factory, arouses suspicions. The subsequent murder of Detective Paul Milner's estranged wife, Jane, seems to confirm that Grace's death was no accident. But the evidence points to Milner himself as Jane's murderer.

2 Casualties of War

March 1943. While investigating a gambling ring and incidents of sabotage, Foyle becomes distracted by a personal crisis. His troubled goddaughter, Lydia, shows up unexpectedly at his doorstep—along with her young son James, a boy so deeply traumatized by a bomb strike at his school that he refuses to speak.

About this show

Combining uncompromising historical accuracy with compelling mysteries, this original PBS Masterpiece Theatre mystery series stars Michael Kitchen (Out of Africa) as Detective Chief Inspector Christopher Foyle. Set in the beautiful southern English countryside amid the disorder and danger of World War II, Foyle's War takes place far from the glory of the front. His is an ordinary struggle-against everyday evil-in extraordinarily dangerous times.

I enjoy watching Foyle's War, I am actually watching it at the moment on ITV3. I love it when people make Programmes that have a mix of Historical Period and Detective.

Why have the 3 seasons of Foyle's War that I have purchased gone missing from my library?! It is impossible to get in contact with Google regarding this so I am leaving this query/complainr in the review sextion in the slim hope that I'll get a reply!
