Add to that the regular rousting by top brass like 'God' Head and 'Madarse' Maguffy, a budget tighter than a Victorian corset and a DC who thinks he's in a John Le Carré novel, and it makes for a trying time for Detective Inspector Bill Slider.
But when a noted womaniser dies in mysterious circumstances in a sleazy motel and the whole of his murky past comes to light, Slider begins to question more than whether the game is worth the candle. Right is right, and indivisible. As soon as he's solved the motel mystery, and found out what the Neary boys and gorgeous George are up to, Slider's going to have to start putting his own house in order...
