But Nash has other, more pressing worries … With extremist politicians fanning racial hatred and provoking attacks on migrant workers, Nash has to prevent an explosive situation from boiling over into civil unrest. SHOULD YOU PROTECT SOMEONE CONVICTED OF AN UNSPEAKABLE CRIME? Nash's small team of detectives has little time to spare for convicted murderer Vickers. But as Nash becomes acquainted with the facts, doubts start to grow about Vickers's conviction. Proving him innocent will be difficult enough … but keeping him alive until they find the truth may well be impossible.
