James Christie — captured by the police at the scene of a brutal killing — holds the key to ensuring that Barron can bring the case to a speedy conclusion. But Christie is whisked away in a daring gun battle outside Melbourne.

Barron must work feverishly if he is to stop his work coming unravelled.
