Opis

April 1990: Dawn of the next Decade: With the new Specialist Crime Unit in its infancy and the attacks of the 1980s drifting into history and to the back of peoples' minds, London is returning to a peaceful normality. The intelligence services...working on the realisation that a new far right wing group of terrorists are rising in Europe...prepare a conference in London to discuss next steps and to enhance working relationships. With senior police officers and agents continuing to disappear across the continent, leads and information seem confused and contradictory, the international function aimed at providing a clearer picture and set of common goals to combat the emerging threat. The young policeman, Robert Peterson and his now colleague, Jin-Lee, return to the streets of the capital...with their new superior...the rather brusque and impolitically correct, Inspector Larsen, demanding the new unit supply results far surpassing what is expected of the fledgling department. Working closely with the Metropolitan Police and intelligence services, SCU will provide support and facilitate investigations in a rather specialist area, gaining information from a community that the police were unable to penetrate in the past, facing a wall of suspicious silence on each previous attempt. But the darkness is rising once more, this time far more organised and adopting a different tactical approach, the sinister tentacles stretching out to strike terror once more. A comprehensive attack planned on the capital by the far right wing, their agents now seasoned professionals from around the world, the danger far greater than before as mercenaries are despatched to the streets of London. With MI6 and the Metropolitan Police charged with gaining results and fast, the small undercover investigation unit will once again re-emerge to engage in a covert operation, the support limited and the dangers perhaps more prevalent as the casualties begin to mount. April 1990: Number One in the UK Charts: 'Vogue' by Madonna...the infamous song remained at the top of the charts throughout this month. In this month: 'Twin Peaks' premiers on US Television. Nick Faldo wins the US Masters. US Discovery 10 launches into outer space. In 1990: Germany re-unifies after the collapse of the eastern bloc. Several Baltic and Eastern European nations declare independence from the Soviet Union. Iraq invades Kuwait, leading to the first Gulf War in 1991. Nelson Mandela is released from prison. Margaret Thatcher resigns as British Prime Minister after over eleven years in the job. The foundation of the World Wide Web occurs as Tim Berners-Lee creates the first web server. SCU: Blood and Intoxication is the third of the Bloodied London Series with dark humour, suspense, violence and murder throughout...perhaps a window into the murkiest of London life as the city evolves.
