The only entertainment was the 'Flicks' and for some there was horseracing and 'the dogs'. Greyhound racing appeared a bit of fun and - if you were lucky - got you a bob or two.

Nowhere was out of reach - not even the tracks in deepest Devon.That's when the rot set in and the dogs became 'dodgy'.Dodgy dogs, loads of money and bent bookies all made for a dangerous mix. That mix inevitably led to threats, violence and eventually murder.Detective Inspector Temple and Detective Sergeant Cantwell had been investigating a rather run-of-the-mill 'missing person' case in their sleepy seaside town. It didn't stay that way for long and the ill-matched team began uncovering events that would lead to a full-scale betting and doping scandal involving not only racketeers but the County Set themselves.This was the first major case for Temple and Cantwell as a team.
