Compelling, character-led police procedural crime thriller with a distinctly different type of detective in the lead role.

It's a big operation and a complex one. With the Big Boss out of action, Ted's in charge of one part of the enquiry, a robbery and brutal stabbing of a woman in a car park. But overseeing it all is a senior officer with a serious grudge against Ted. One who'd stop at nothing to take him down.

Then another face from the past turns up, needing Ted's help. One whose presence can only mean trouble of a serious kind.
