- dealer
- and

- killed
- in
- a
- car
- accident.
- Travelling
- to

- Detective
- Taggart
- that

- down.
The
- first
- of

- a
- classic
- cat-and-mouse
- thriller.
- Told
- with
- swagger,
- brutal
- humour
- and
- not
- a
- little
- violence,
- it
- follows
- a
- good
- man
- who
- is
- forced
- to
- return
- to
- the
- horrors
- of
- his past.
