2005 was a lively year in what the Police Authority termed Northern Sector, South East. Edgar Hutton, the long time leader of the powerful Eastgate gang had been arrested for armed robbery and was, somewhat surprisingly, succeeded by Nat Dawson, someone he had recruited and nurtured through the gangland ranks. The front runner for the job, Gabriel ’Angel’ Smith, who had received similarly privileged treatment, lost out on his expected promotion to the top job and promptly vacated the scene to pursue a career in foreign parts. Ten years later the Organised Crime Squad is in disarray. Having wasted a full year investigating a crime of political corruption that got shelved at the eleventh hour, they are now directed back to their original task of combating gang crime, but with a drastic reduction in personnel. The Unit is currently in the process of losing the services of two more experienced officers and the one new recruit to their ranks is a raw academic Intern fresh out of college who looks like being of extremely limited use. DI Daniel Loache and his number two, DS Geoff Strickland, are not optimistic for the future and the new arrival does little to lift their spirits; especially in light of the fact the current leader of the largest local gang, Eastgate, has just gone missing and their bitter rivals, The Tyson Mob, seem intent on instigating a turf war to take advantage of the situation.However, things could always be worse....... and very soon that proves to be exactly the case; word is received that Gabriel ’Angel’ Smith has returned to the country and is heading directly for his old stamping ground. The fact that DI Loache is now partnered with Smith’s sister, Miriam, serves only to further complicate matters.
