What Season 20 of Murdoch Mysteries

Season 20 opens in Toronto in 1895, with Detective William Murdoch facing cases his colleagues can't solve. To do so, he uses methods ahead of their time, such as fingerprinting, blood analysis, surveillance and evidence tracking. The first episode takes him to Malta, where writer Nigella Fletcher awaits execution, accused of killing her husband, a case he doubts. Later, three French priests turn up at a hotel, and Murdoch must find out whom they were protecting. Further on, he crosses paths with boxer Jack Johnson, who is involved in a case affecting his entourage.
