It looks like the pair have quite the challenge on their hands as they take on a cold case that dates all the way back to the 1970s. Grainger revealed how the pair deal with the investigation into a doctor\u2019s disappearance back then \u2013 and it will definitely put their skills to the test.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of the witnesses and the people involved are old or dead now, so it\u2019s a case of tracking people down and slowly putting together the notes of two different police detectives,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor Robin and Strike this case is quite different from the others, in that it\u2019s digging into the past and trying to trace people that are hard to track down.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe case that Strike takes on in Troubled Blood is the case of a missing person, Margot Bamborough, who has been missing since 1974 and it\u2019s her daughter who approaches Strike and asks him if he would take one last shot at finding out what happened to her,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cStrike and Robin set about turning over the old police files and interviewing the very few colleagues that are still alive, most of whom are in their 80s, while they begin to discover the deeper story of what may have happened to Margot Bamborough.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think they also find themselves wrestling with their own memories of motherhood and what it is to be a child whose mother doesn\u2019t come back \u2013 that\u2019s very potent in Strike\u2019s case.\u201d<\/p>
Edge revealed the case will also be poignant for Grainger\u2019s Robin, who as \u201ca female private investigator, it\u2019s a world which traditionally feels quite boysy and which she isn\u2019t necessarily confident about being taken seriously\u201d.<\/p>\n
The series will feature flashbacks of \u201970s London, which the BBC says will include \u201cSoho vice dens and clubland and the daily misogyny of Margot Bamborough being a woman in a man\u2019s world working as a female GP with some other stuffy patriarchal colleagues\u201d.<\/p>\n
