Crime Retrospective
-
Street History of
Thatcher’s Britain
-
Informed, Shaming,
Thought-provoking
The miners’
strike, Thatcher’s
Britain: a serial
killer stalks young
girls in a mining
community. All are
members of the Workers
Revolutionary Party.
Local detective Terry
Acktington is seconded
to the murder investigation
team. Things quickly
get complicated. Terry
comes from a mining
family and his brother
is a WRP activist
who idolises Zack-the-Hack,
a confidante of party
leader Gerry Healy.
Worse, the more Terry
starts to dig, the
more his faith in
basic state institutions
– in particular,
those organisations
from the secret state
ranged against the
miners’ - is
undermined. The hunt
for the killer becomes
a race against time
when another girl
is abducted and Terry
needs to find her
before it is too late
. . .
