Police work is not often as it is portrayed on TV shows, full of action and melodrama with guns blazing and bad people dying. It can be dull, repetitive, unrewarding and monotonous. Just sometimes, police work can be rewarding and enlivening, invigorating even. Victoria Reason had no crystal ball to tell her when the bad times would get better, or vice versa. She relied on her dogged determination and application to detail to sift through the pyramid of evidence and information until she reached the apex, the final summit, the conclusion of a case.
A body in the old docks of the River Avon in Bristol set in motion a chain of events that would lead to four convictions; three for murder and one for conspiracy to murder. The fact that one of the cases was several years old only added to the status Detective Superintendent Veronica Reason had gained as an extremely competent and highly effective investigator. All it took was dull, repetitive and often monotonous police work.
Veronica Reason had enough of drama just a few months earlier when bullets were flying in her direction. Now she was happy that things had returned to a more normal, predictable pace. That was until a floating body revealed a lot more than they all expected.
