When undercover cop Jez Walker is shot dead, it appears cut and dried. Arrest the gang he was embedded in and question them until a confession surfaces. It doesn’t work out that way – the closer the Batterton Major Crime Investigation Team looks, the more obvious it is that the gang didn’t kill Walker. So who did? Answering that question means looking at other aspects of Jez’s past. And doing that raises questions they’d rather had stayed unasked.
