Peacemakers is an American crime fiction television series about forensic science in the Old West. It was filmed in Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. The series premiered July 30, 2003, on the USA Network. [1] The show was cancelled after one season of nine episodes.
Peacemakers depicts law enforcement efforts in Silver City, Colorado, during the waning years of the American Old West. Deputy United States Marshal Jared Stone (Tom Berenger) and his colleague, private detective Larimer Finch (Peter O'Meara), are the primary law officers. Katie Owen (Amy Carlson), the town's undertaker and mortician, assists them as a forensic pathologist. Silver City is a silver boom town embracing new technologies, including a telephone exchange with long-distance service to Denver, and electric lighting.
Stone is a decorated soldier of the American Civil War, a former gunfighter, expert tactician and marksman. His jurisdiction covers a larger region centered on Silver City. Finch is an experienced criminologist and trained forensic scientist, a graduate of Yale University who completed post-graduate work at Cambridge University and interned with Scotland Yard. He was formerly an operative of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, speaks fluent Chinese, and is skilled with hand-to-hand combat.
Finch came to Silver City to investigate a murder committed in a private railway car at the Silver City rail depot. To avoid reassignment to a strike breaking detail, he resigned from the agency and remained in Silver City, where he uses his knowledge of fingerprinting, ballistics, photography, chemistry and scientific analysis to aid Marshal Stone in his investigations. Owen, a former medical student, was forced to take over the family mortuary business after the accidental deaths of her parents. Her medical skills make her a valuable ally and friend to Stone and Finch.
