Story: Rough meets smooth when homicide cop Jane Rizzoli teams up with medical examiner Dr Maura Isles.

This US police procedural brings us detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles, characters from the novels of best-selling crime novelist Tess Gerritson (namely, The Surgeon and The Apprentice).
The latest new crime show to hit the Alibi channel bills itself as 'gritty', but clearly wants to recapture the magic of Cagney and Lacey. The end result is a weird mix – crimes of torture, murder and rape, with cute wisecracks and fluffy dogs thrown in.
