Bad Press

Is the reporter breaking the news - or making it? A killer's targeting Birmingham's paedophiles: a big story, and ace crime reporter Matt Snow's always there first - ahead of the pack and the police. Detective Sergeant Bev Morriss has crossed words with Snow countless times. Though his hang-'em-and-flog-'em views are notorious, Bev still sees him as journo, not psycho. But a case against the newsman builds. Maybe Snow's sword is mightier than his pen? Through it all, Bev has an exclusive of her own . . . a news item she'd rather didn't get round the nick. DS Byford knows, but the guv's on sick leave. As for sharing it with new partner DC Mac Tyler - no, probably best keep mum . . .
