What Season 5 of Murdoch Mysteries

The fifth season kicks off with Murdoch caught up in the Yukon Gold Rush, where he meets author Jack London. Back in Toronto, the detective must tread carefully when he pursues a Catholic suspect. The case involves the murder of a city councilman, who was killed during an assassination attempt on the mayor, a Protestant. The investigation thus clashes with the city's religious tensions. The episodes that follow take Murdoch to anarchists, an Egyptian curse, the opera and an inventor who wants to compete with Ford. Working alongside him are Inspector Brackenreid and Constable Crabtree.
