Old Scores

Description

It's the early 1980s- the heady days of excess, dirty secrets and personal favours. Former detective Frank Swann is still in disgrace, working as a low-rent PI. But when he's offered a security job by the premier's fixer, it soon becomes clear that someone is bugging the premier's phone - and it may cost Swann more than his job to find out why.
