Sister Boniface Mysteries on ABC and ABC iview S2E5 – Sister Boniface (Lorna Watson) is shocked by a visit from Vivienne (Maggie Steed) and Malise Bonham-Crane (Geoff McGivern), her own mother and father!
Convinced that events catastrophic to the Cold War are being planned at the British Open Chess Championships, Malise persuades Sister Boniface to brush off her chess skills and join the tournament.
She faces stiff competition, up against inscrutable Anthony Whitlock (Daniel Cerqueira), his wife Nadiya (Andreea Paduraru), the superbly smart Oliver Canning (Ben Mansfield) and the wonder team of Evelyn Thurleigh (Jonny Khan) and trainer Jack Denbury (Tom Glenister).
But when Anthony is found dead, injected with a deadly and unknown substance, the tournament takes a back seat.
Sister Boniface and her father race against time to crack the codes before more lives, or indeed the safety of the nation, are put at risk.
