Holding On
Synopsis
It soon emerges that the intended victim was not Banbury but Graham Rigg, the owner of the brothel and the well known head of a South London gang. While both Rigg and the police attempt to find who put out the contract, Henderson conducts his own enquiries with support from former colleague Walker.
As Henderson's relationship with Flint develops and his relationship with the official investigation becomes increasingly strained, he finds himself involved in an intricate web of gang war and police corruption. Increasingly it seems that criminals and lawmen alike are mere pawns in a deadly game devised by whoever's behind the original contract killing. But who's set to benefit from the bloody outcome?
