After six months Constable Andy Blackmore's secondment finished at the Criminal Investigation Department and he was ready to return to Bankvale Police Office to his friends and colleagues. Andy, as usual, had ruffled some senior officer's feathers during his prior inquiry. He wondered how far they might go in order to end his career. The one thing he did know was that retribution was in store for those who were at the root of his heartache and sorrow. He knew the joy of love and the sorrow of death, little did he know that his days at Bankvale were numbered, or if he would survive the final outcome.
