But when the wife of a prominent politician is murdered in her best nightie, Rigby finds himself caught in a crossfire between rogue paramilitaries, an internal police inquiry and the heaviest blizzard of coke ever to hit the northwest. If all this wasn t bad enough, his relationship with girlfriend Denise is on the rocks and he s hitting the bottle. Then there s Rigby s psychotic brother Gonzo, back on the streets and meaner than a jilted shark.
