Suicide by Cop

Steve Hennessey is dead, and Peter Faithful and his Tactical Response Squad team find themselves in the spotlight with many questions to be answered.

Danny Wyatt fired the fatal shot, and the pressure of the investigation is pushing him to breaking point. Peter Faithful turns to the police psychologist for help as the probe into the shooting continues — the police have their backs to the wall, and internal inquiries are pointing to a cover-up!

An eyewitness claims to have seen Danny Wyatt and Peter Faithful put a gun next to Steve Hennessey's body, a claim the detectives vehemently deny.

However, for Shirl Hennessey and Steve's de facto, Kirsty Nichols, the death causes enormous tension while the underworld seeks revenge.

Meanwhile, Tina Bertrum prosecutes a vicious assault that takes Danny Wyatt into the magistrate's court where he comes face-to-face with Shirl Hennessey, the mother of the man he shot and killed.
