Arthur Hailey's Detective is a 2005 crime, drama, and mystery film based on the bestselling novel by Arthur Hailey. The production has a runtime of two hours and fifty-one minutes and is rated PG-13. The story follows Detective Sergeant Malcolm Ainslie, a man who transitioned from being a Catholic priest to a distinguished police investigator. The plot centers on Ainslie as he agrees to hear the final confession of a convicted serial killer who is scheduled to be executed in a matter of hours. During this meeting, the prisoner promises to disclose the truth regarding his crimes and explain why he confessed to an offense that Ainslie does not believe he committed. The ensuing interaction between the two men leads to an investigation into their respective pasts. This film is distinct from other works by Arthur Hailey, such as the material adapted into Zero Hour, and is separate from the historical television projects mentioned in the author's broader bibliography.
