Dawson Affair

Detective Chief Superintendent Steve Benson, a veteran of the RCMP CID division, after putting in his usual solid performance on two major crimes, the second of which almost costs him his career. He is brought before the chief commissioner to account for the high cost of tracking a fugitive into the frozen northern wilds of Canada. After a somewhat protracted run-in with the chief commissioner over the costs, Benson stands his ground and thinks to hell with it. At this point, he is ready to give it all away and seriously look at retirement. But due to that hostile conversation with the CC, not only is he not stood down, he is promoted to detective chief superintendent. He goes on to solve a longstanding cold case involving the murder of eight women. Following that, he is given a new department to head up, with the task of solving serial killings and high-profile murders wherever they occur in Canada. He brings along with him his two longstanding friends and colleagues, Sergeant Al Philips and Special Constable Jimmy Two Bears, a native Canadian.
