Penalty for Murder

“I just want to fight the bad guys, and right now, the bad guys seem to be winning.” (Mike Newman, Penalty for Murder) What is the penalty for murder? In Britain, the death penalty on conviction for murder was abolished in the late nineteen sixties, to be replaced by life sentence. But what is the penalty when a murderer is not convicted? What happens to the ones who are never caught? The ones who we say, got away with it? What then, is the penalty for murder? In this gripping adventure, Mike Newman is visited by a mysterious woman in green and realises that their paths have crossed before. As armed raids engulf his former division, he turns his attention to an unsolved murder, but unwittingly plunges his few remaining friends into danger, as once again they are called on to tackle the evil of crime and corruption.
