BLACK AND BLUE

REBUS IS JUGGLING FOUR CASES TRYING TO NAIL ONE KILLER - WHO MIGHT JUST LEAD BACK TO THE INFAMOUS BIBLE JOHN. AND HE'S DOING IT UNDER THE SCRUTINY OF AN INTERNAL INQUIRY LED BY A MAN HE HAS JUST ACCUSED OF TAKING BACKHANDERS FROM GLASGOW'S MR BIG. AS IF THIS WASN'T ENOUGH, THERE ARE TV CAMERAS AT HIS BACK INVESTIGATING A MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE, MAKING REBUS A CRIMINAL IN THE EYES OF A MILLION OR MORE VIEWERS. JUST ONE MISTAKE IS LIKELY TO MEAN AN UNPLEASANT AND NOT PARTICULARLY SPEEDY DEATH OR, WORSE STILL, LOSING HIS JOB.
