White Riot

When the savagely beaten body of a Muslim student is discovered in a rundown area of Newcastle blame falls on the far right National Unity Party - but for once they appear to be innocent. Not the best time for Trevor Whitman to return to his native north-east. Haunted by his violent past Whitman is tormented by anonymous calls alluding to the murder of a policeman 30 years before. Investigator Joe Donovan’s team are called in to investigate. But following the death of a supposed suicide bomber what should be a routine investigation takes a more dangerous turn as the team find themselves the target of a ruthless killer. A killer who will do anything to ensure an explosive secret remains buried.
