Don’t stoke the flames unless you want to get burned…
It’s not going well for NE Division: half the force is off sick, all leave’s been cancelled, someone’s firebombed a hotel full of migrants, and there’s a massive protest march happening this Saturday.
With officers dropping like flies, Detective Inspector Logan McRae has to kick-off a major murder investigation with a skeleton staff of misfits, idiots, and malingerers until the Top Brass can arrange back-up from other divisions.
But as bad as everything seems, things are about to get much, much worse . . .
