I want a riot of my own... Die-hard copper Superintendent James 'Marsh' Mallow, of the Belfast CID, is nearing hte end of his carrer, but he's not handing in his badge until he's nailed notorious politician and racketeer (who can tell the difference?) Pink Harrison. Despite Harrison having his manicured fingers in more pies than you'll see at a football match, Jimmy's never been able to pin anything on him - until now. A dismembered body has turned up and Mallow's convinced he's got his man. Problem is, take Pink Harrison down, and trouble of the full-scale rioting kind is likely to flare up.
