Everyone knew Gary Vickers was guilty - the evidence was overwhelming.
Convicted of the rape and murder of his lover's daughter, he is now due
for release from prison. Against all advice, he insists on returning to
Helmsdale, where it falls upon Mike Nash to protect him. 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.
During such fraught times, Nash's small team of detectives has little
time to spare for convicted sex attacker Vickers. But as Nash becomes
acquainted with the facts, doubts start to grow about Vickers'
conviction. Proving him innocent will be difficult enough - but keeping
him alive until they find the truth may well be impossible. Views: 25
