'Not many crims hold out against Bluey's style of interrogation. Muley has. For three endless days. Bluey, and everybody else at Russell Street, counts it as one of his rare failures.
'Now there's a robbery planned in the district where Bluey was born and raised - his patch. And Bluey, needing very little provocation, gets his second chance to crack Muley. This time he's determined to succeed, no matter how many rules he has to break.
'Gary feels that Bluey's obsession with Muley may be affecting his judgement. He follows a different course to Bluey and comes up with a different conclusion. Who is right?'
