The Doctor Blake Mysteries

A body discovered in a freezer leads Lucien to scrutinise the deceased’s sexuality, hoping to uncover any hints that might explain the circumstances of his death. His investigation must decide whether the incident was a tragic accident or a calculated murder.

The Call of the Void is an episode‑style programme that follows a single, self‑contained story. It is presented as a compact narrative, fitting within the broader format of a television series but standing on its own as a distinct instalment. The plot kicks off when a body is discovered lodged inside a freezer. Lucien, the central figure of the investigation, turns his attention to the victim’s sexual orientation, hoping that this personal detail might provide a foothold for understanding how the man met his end. The discovery raises immediate questions about whether the death was a tragic accident or a premeditated murder. Lucien’s inquiry is centred on teasing out any link between the deceased’s sexuality and the circumstances surrounding the frozen corpse. By probing that intimate aspect of the victim’s life, he hopes to uncover motives, relationships or hidden threats that could explain why the body ended up in such an unlikely place. The focus on personal identity becomes the lens through which the mystery is examined. Ultimately, the episode follows Lucien as he pieces together the scant clues available, using the victim’s sexual history as a possible key to determining the true nature of the incident. The investigation aims to resolve the core dilemma: was the freezer scene the result of an unfortunate mishap, or does it point to a deliberate act of violence?
