Simon Serrailler finds himself in devastating new territory as a sophisticated drugs' network
sets its sights on Lafferton and the surrounding villages DCS Simon Serrailler has long
regarded drugs ops in the Lafferton area as a waste of time. Small-time dealers are picked up
outside the local secondary school they're given a fine or a suspended and away they go. And
rinse and repeat. But when the body of a young drug addict is found in neighbouring Starly the
case pulls Simon into a whole new way of running drugs. The foot soldiers? Vulnerable local
kids like Brookie and Olivia who will give Simon a bitter taste of this new landscape. It is a
harsh winter at home as well as work. Simon's GP sister Cat and her husband Kieron are
struggling with medical dramas big and small. A trip to Bevham General on her rounds sets off
alarm bells for Dr Cat and a visit from her son Sam as he tries to work out if his midwifery
course is right for him coincides with a threat to their beloved family dog. Simon is working
hard but he's restless wondering what next. There's nothing new going on for him in Lafferton
but sometimes the familiar holds surprises too . . .
