The Smoking Gun

A Bit of Cake for Trebor

Each are set in the eighties,  when there were no mobile phones and very few pagers,  and DNA didn’t rise to prominence until much later.  Investigation was far more challenging.  They follow the career of Bob Trebor, the youngest Detective Inspector in the country.  His integrity, and that of his team ,  operating in a a niche environment,  brings him into conflict with corrupt officers of the past.  He resolves not be pressured and becomes one of the first ‘police whistleblowers’ while heading a successful squad.
