Special Relationship (1)

Da en småkriminel indbrudstyv bliver frikendt for mordet på Home Office-rådgiveren Katherine Reed, tager Boyd og hans team kampen op for at finde sandheden. Deres undersøgelser bliver dog bremset af ministeriet, hvor Reed arbejdede, som langt fra er samarbejdsvillige. Samtidig udviser Reed's mand mistænkelig lidt interesse i sin kones død, og med et hullet alibi kommer han snart i efterforskernes søgelys.

Boyd and his team struggle to find the truth behind the murder of a prominent Home Office adviser, when a petty criminal is acquitted of the crime. Once a prominent feminist activist, victim Katherine Reed had attacked the establishment at every opportunity, only to later switch sides. Boyd's progress on the case is hampered not only by a Home Office audit, which means the team will be shadowed throughout, but also by the fact that the original investigation was conducted by one of his old flames.
