The Escape Artist - New Masterpiece Mystery! Starts Sunday

portrait: David Tennant

Sundays, June 15-22, 9pm - WKAR-HD | Trail a brilliant defense lawyer (David Tennant) who gets a trial that changes his life forever.

David Tennant ("Broadchurch," "Doctor Who") stars as a brilliant defense lawyer with a storybook family and a potent nickname, "The Escape Artist," for his ability to spring the obviously guilty.

Written by David Wolstencroft ("Spooks"), this gripping legal thriller costars Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda) as the hero's rival, along with a courtroom full of ambitious attorneys and one very unnerving defendant.
