About

Before television series Duggan, there were two telefeatures: Duggan - Death in Paradise, and Duggan - Sins of the Father. This first telefilm murder mystery introduces troubled and brooding Detective Inspector John Duggan (John Bach, from Close to Home and The Lost Tribe). Duggan has taken leave from the police, and headed to his bach in the Marlborough Sounds. In this excerpt, a woman's body is fished out of the water at a local salmon farm, and a reluctant Duggan is persuaded to get back into the game for the investigation. Read more about the birth of the series in the backgrounder.
