Gideon investigates a complex case, two protection/racketeering gangs are involved in a turf war feud, only the gang leader of one side spots a means of escape, an escape to a life of wealth.
I've reached the half way point, and I think think this is one of the best episodes I've seen so far, I absolutely loved the atmosphere, the tone and the characters, talk about a snapshot of The 1960's.
This series really does change things up, there have been some lighter, almost frivolous episodes, this one is completely on the other end of the scale, Gideon is up against some hard nosed villains, the two sides represent a real threat, there is some malice here.
Such is the strength of the story, that we don't get any time to see Gideon in his family home, this one is solely focused on the main story.
A very strong cast for this one, Ray Brooks, Ronald Lacey, Jane Merrow, all excellent, look out for for John Louis Mansi, who played Weasel, best known for playing Von Smallhousen in Allo Allo.
8/10.
