Or perhaps an attempt to silence him before he can reveal gang secrets to the police? Or was it a personal attack on PC Kenneth Hughes himself?DCI Jonah Porter comes out of retirement to lead the hunt for this vicious killer, ably supported by his assistant, Bernie, and a team of detectives. Meanwhile Gavin and his wife, Chrissie, struggle to learn to live with the sudden loss of their only son in this poignant story of heroism and grief.
