Synopsis

'Everyone knew that the alternative to relieving Assistant Commissioner Bentham of his duties was the government's guts hanging out from Whitehall to Belfast...'
The time - the recent past. The place - Northern Ireland. Jack Bentham is called to Belfast to investigate RUC members who have been acquitted of murdering members of the IRA amidst a 'shoot to kill' policy.
But why are a judge, an innocent boy and Bentham's informer also brutally shot? And why does a certain 'pillar of the community' believe they have AIDS?
Bentham is no stranger to corruption within the force. But this time, as his investigations unravel a disturbing web of conspiracy and corruption penetrating the police and the government, he faces an excruciating dilemma as his conscience challenges his professional integrity... And as the threatened establishment closes in on him so Northern Ireland becomes Bentham's personal TESTING GROUND
'G. F. Newman throws a bucketful of icy reality, scepticism and sheer anger on the warm and cosy assumptions encouraged by television'' Financial Times
