Murder Ring (A DI Geraldine Steel Mystery) - Plot & Excerpts
On the way, Adam told Geraldine what he knew about the estate. All sorts of criminal activities were rumoured to take place there, mainly involving hard drugs and gang warfare. The two problems were closely interrelated. Although the police had been summoned on more than one occasion to investigate reports of gun crimes, no one living on the estate had been convicted of any such offence. There had been many busts over the years, but now the police largely left the place alone.‘It’s a question of containment,’ Adam explained. ‘As long as they keep their problems behind closed doors, the drug squad just keep an eye on the place; keep things under control as far as possible.’When Geraldine expressed her indignation at his resignation, he laughed.‘Don’t be naive. This isn’t the Home Counties. You’re in London now. It would take more resources than we can ever hope to throw at the place to clean it up completely, and then the problem would only move elsewhere. At least we know where they are and can keep on top of things.’‘But are we keeping on top of it?’He shrugged again.
