Mollel suspects they are guilty of the extortion and bribery that plague the force. But when the body of a flower worker turns up in the local lake, he begins to wonder if they might be involved in something even more disturbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor all is not as it seems in Hell's Gate.
