Inside Out

The regional Crime Squad has moved from Gloucester to Di John Watt's building in Wyvern. The move does not please Watt or his detectives as it brings them directly under the eyes of their bosses. Meantime a crime has been committed by a man the Squad has every reason to believe cannot have committed it.

All That Glitters

Three apparently unrelated facts turn out to have a fascinating connection. A former criminal, now crippled, lives like a lord but has no visible means of support. A film unit arrives in the area to make a television documentary. And a mysterious and ambiguous note arrives on John Watt's desk.

The Jackpot

A new gambling club is due to open and already the manager has been 'invited' to pay protection money to a man from a firm that supplies fruit machines. The Squad investigate, and they don't like what they find.

Murder Reported

Barlow's manpower diplomacy is strongly tested as Detective Superintendent Arthur Jones leads a murder hunts for only the second time in his career.

Somebody Important

The Informant (1) Rough Justice

When Billie Greave is found injured in a factory storeroom it seems obvious to the police that he has fallen while attempting to blow a safe. Barlow is disappointed and angry, for Billie is one of his most trusted informers and has assured him that he is now going straight.

Recovery

DC Morgan receives information that a big art robbery will take place. The squad acts... but so does the thief.

Flash Point

Barlow is enjoying a pint at the pub when Watt's girl friend, Dr. Jean Morrow, tells him about an old lady who has been brutally attacked for the sake of a few pounds. Jean's story shocks Barlow into involving the squad in immediate action.

In At the Death

When the head of a successful firm dies there is always someone waiting to step into his shoes. In this case the dead man's business venture is believed to be crooked and DS Hawkins is closely concerned as to who will fill his place.

Error of Judgement

A race meeting at Chepstow; and incompetent amateur pilot; a lonely field near Wyvern; why is Barlow interested in these three things? Who is it that Barlow wants to set a trap for? The answer lies in unfinished business from Barlow's past. Will he ever complete it?

Dead Aboard

A prostitute is found murdered in a quiet backwater quay at Wyvern. Who is the killer? Barlow and his team make every effort to find out.

One Thing Leads To Another

When Harry Hawkins and Barbara Allin visit a gambling joint it is not just for the purpose of spending their own money. Their main interest is in the easy money that flows, and the club owner, Dino Frankitt, who has the reputation of making HIS easy money in devious ways.

General Post

When a crime occurs on the doorstep of Headquarters the local force thinks it's funny. But Barlow is not amused. He is aware the incident could be a prelude to a much bigger crime - but what? And why is John Watt even less amused than Barlow?

Wild Goose

What is a criminal like Jack Carter doing in Wyvern? Barlow hopes to find out by surveillance and is furious when Digby inadvertently makes the squad's interest apparent.

We Shall Miss You

Barlow and watt travel to Thamesford and back - but not together - in pursuit of important changes in their careers. While they wait to hear the results of their journeys they join forces again in pursuit of one more criminal.

Write Off

Why is DS Allin so interested in the leisure activities of the elite of Wyvern? And why does a car involved in a minor accident unaccountably burst into flames? The subsequent enquiries are not to Watt's liking.

Arrival

Barlow's first day at Thamesford is rounded off with a telephone call that involves him in his first major investigation as head of C.I.D.

Who Wants Pride...?

Why should anyone steal a security van, disguise it as a plain van and drive it out to a deserted place in the countryside? And why blow a neat hole in it when there's nothing inside anyway? Could it be a dress rehearsal?

Collation

A line drawn by time; a curious parallel; two thieves with a twisted sense of humour - would these be the ingredients of a recipe that would keep Barlow and Watt awake at night?
