Sharon Rooney takes on the role of Detective Sergeant Katie Salter in the upcoming Channel 5 crime drama *An Impossible Way To Die*. The six-part series also stars Emmett J. Scanlan, known for his work on *MobLand*, as Detective Inspector Niall Conway. The show explores the dynamic between Salter, who approaches her work with a measured and grounded demeanor, and Conway, whose intense dedication to policing sometimes borders on chaotic. Despite their contrasting styles, the two detectives learn to appreciate each other’s strengths as they tackle a complex case.

Set to air next year, the drama centers on an unusual and chilling murder mystery. The investigation begins when four people are found dead around a table arranged for a dinner party. The only conspicuous detail at the scene is a scorpion emerging from the mouth of one of the victims. Prior to this case, DS Salter handled more routine crimes, but this disturbing discovery pulls her into a high-stakes inquiry.

The series promises a suspenseful narrative that delves into the professional and personal challenges faced by the detectives. While the initial episodes set the stage with intriguing character interplay and a perplexing crime scene, viewers will have to wait for the full broadcast to see how the investigation unfolds.
