Now, with outrage in the press in Poland and Ireland, the Garda--Ireland's police must come up with answers. Violent crime in Dublin is out of control, editorials declare. Can a team of guards from a city station really do the job? And should the fabled specialist Murder Squad really have been disbanded three years ago?

'Whatever you need' Minogue is told, but his arrival is resented in the local city Garda station. Ready or not, Minogue is about to drop down a crevasse into Dublin's underworld. There, not far from the busy world-class shopping and the crowded nightclubs, the glass clad office towers and the massive rock concerts, is where drug lords and their hired killers rule."
