However, the corpse turns out to be his estranged daughter, Christina, who has seemingly taken her own life.
Danny refuses to accept she killed herself and sets out on a mission to find out what really happened to his only daughter.
Through a series of intense exchanges with those closest to Christina – her partner, friends, members of the family and his ex-wife – he starts to put pieces of the puzzle together.

When is Suspect on?
About the show, James said: “I could relate to Danny, with his flaws, vulnerabilities and the devastating situation he faces, from the very first moment I picked up the script.
“Each episode of Suspect is an intensely theatrical double-hander, a psychological battle of wits between Danny and another character who may know something about his daughter’s untimely death.
