John Gethin is a man lost in a strange, rapidly-changing world he is unable to understand and refuses to accept. So put a known homophobic old-timer like him to investigate a gay killing and there are bound go be problems. Give him a young, accident-prone sergeant new to the patch for a sidekick and the problems get worse, particularly in their attitudes to morality. Set the whole thing in an impoverished outpost of the Police forced in a small Welsh village and a shambles is inevitable until Gethin's absurdly unconventional methods force him to reap a poisoned harvest. This outrageous story is the first in a trilogy of crazy cases featuring the most non-PC cop of all time and begs the question: Is any moral code redundant, by definition?
