Season 5 Synopsis

Dick Van Dyke stars as Dr. Mark Sloan, a dedicated doctor who dabbles in detective work in the fifth season of Diagnosis Murder.

Caring and compassionate, Dr. Sloan enlists the help of his police detective son, Steve, whenever he suspects one of his patients is the victim of foul play.

And he won’t rest until the bad guys are put to bed - permanently.

In Season 5, Dr Sloan is forced to step in and defend Jesse against accusations that he accidentally caused the death of a basketball player, and Mark and Steve Sloan encounter a Mob boss who brings chaos into their lives.
