There’s a great cast in Crime with Dougray Scott heading it as DI Ray Lennox. That's brutal, and it's traumatising, and it's upsetting and it's just deplorable in every sense of the word.' The cast of Crime includes Dougray Scott, Ken Stott and Angela Griffin…Īngela Griffin is among the cast of Crime. 'But it's still in a brutal environment in terms of what Lennox and Drummond are dealing with - they’re looking for this killer - and what kind of killing it is – a young child, a young girl. 'We’ve fleshed out that part of it,' adds Dougray. The characters weren’t really arced in that story because it’s just a series of flashbacks in a way so we thought it would be interesting to tell that story in Scotland.' So, we decided to not so much scale back our ambitions but to look at the backstory which is almost like a prequel within the book. 'If we wanted to tell the whole Miami story, we realised we’d need about 10 episodes and an American partner - and it's hard to get an American partner for a British show with a British actor as the lead. 'The biggest problem we had was that most of the book is set in Miami and the Edinburgh story is a back story,' explains Irvine. If the book is set in Miami, why is the series set in Scotland? In the Sunshine State, he ends up rescuing a sexually-abused 10-year-old girl and protecting her from a paedophile ring. In the novel, DI Ray Lennox is on holiday in Florida with his fiancée Trudi as he recovers from a mental breakdown brought on by stress, drug and alcohol abuse and a traumatic murder case involving a young girl in Edinburgh.
