Matt Devlin investigates the death of his best friend Sergeant Pete Garvey, another policeman.

Matt Devlin takes it badly when his old friend and fellow cop,Pete Garvey is found dead,an apparent suicide. Garvey's widow says that he had recently been plagued by nightmares and was seeing Jonathan Nugent,a former priest and pillar of the community but in reality an undetected paedophile,who had molested Garvey and others when they were boys. The prosecution build their case on the fact that Nugent's abuse so unbalanced Garvey that he killed himself as a result but Nugent's claim that Garvey was blackmailing him tips the jury on his side and Steel must do a deal with the Catholic church if he is to get a conviction.—don @ minifie-1

DS Matt Devlin is shaken when he learns that a close friend, PS Pete Garvey is found dead in a park. Garvey was shot and Devlin refuses to accept the initial findings: that he had very likely taken his own life. The dead man's wife tells him that her husband had been out of sorts lately and had taken to visiting a former priest, Jonathan Nugent, for counseling. Devlin and Garvey were altar boys together and Garvey had always claimed that Nugent had molested him. Since it's confirmed that Garvey took his own life, it leaves the Crown Prosecutors with a dilemma as to just what to do. They finally decide to charge him, arguing it was his molestation that led Garvey to kill himself.—garykmcd
