Summary[]
Matt Devlin takes it badly when his old friend and fellow cop Pete Garvey is found dead, an apparent suicide. Garvey's widow says that he had recently been plagued by nightmares and was seeing Jonathan Nugent. A former priest and pillar of the community, but in reality an undetected paedophile who had molested Garvey and others when they were boys. The prosecution build their case on the fact that Nugent's abuse so unbalanced Garvey that he killed himself as a result, but Nugent's claim that Garvey was blackmailing him tips the jury on his side and Steel must do a deal with the Catholic church if he is to get a conviction.
