Sharman is a television series starring Clive Owen, based on the "Nick Sharman" books written by London based author Mark Timlin. Nick Sharman is a disillusioned, down-at-heel private investigator. An instinctive loner with a shady past, he can also be charming, quick-witted, determined and, despite his faults, he has an undeniable attraction for many of the women he encounters.
