Trama

While Reid lies unconscious, Drake and the others investigate a series of brutal attacks on local businesses and their owners.

A destructive gang of youths unleash hell upon the streets, but it?s not until daylight breaks that the true horror of their brutal work is revealed. The trail leads the team of H Division into the heartland of one of the city?s oldest trades - the London Breweries - where conflicted loyalties reign, and grief and anger create a potent concoction.

As Reid lies in a coma a protection gang led by orphaned brothers Teddy and Walter Shipman are intimidating landlords who will not buy from their brewery but Teddy is ailing and the more ruthless Walter, anxious to take over the gang, defies his brother by murdering two of the landlords. When Teddy finds out he beats his brother up, attracting the attention of young constable Grace, who links the Shipmans to the brewery, leading to Teddy's arrest. However Walter abducts Grace and Drake needs the help of Teddy and his girlfriend Lily to save his colleague. Meanwhile Fred Best interviews Susan for his paper but she denies any knowledge of what happened to the stolen money whilst Reid wakes up from his coma.—don @ minifie-1

With Reid in a coma both Drake and Jackson are grieving the loss of their friend, who they are sure will not recover from his wounds. Chief Inspector Fred Abberline shakes them up a bit and gets them back at work. Their immediate interest is the death of a publican whose establishment was ransacked in the process. The subsequent riot destroyed much of the property on the same street. They soon trace the action to two brothers, Teddy and Walter Shipman, brewery workers who have taken an interest in promoting their brewery's products. Meanwhile, journalist Fred Best continues to press Long Susan for information about the missing bonds.—garykmcd
