The fates of a detective, a journalist and a villain are irrevocably bound up with this shocking event. <BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>For Frank Taylor, a Detective Sergeant on the Met's fast track, the shooting claims the life of his best friend, a tragedy which might have been avoided, and for which he will endure a lifetime of guilt...<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>For Tony Meehan, an ambitious journalist, it is more than a career-making front page scoop; the slaughter he witnesses awakens a violent impulse within him and finding the perpetrator becomes an all-consuming 20 year obsession.
