by John Wainwright
'This isn't Chicago, in the mid-thirties! It isn't even London! A Northern provincial city in 1968. That's all. The Capone era's dead and buried - and it isn't having the kiss of life on my patch!'
Yorkshire, 1968. The protection racket. The Mutual Trust and Accident Prevention Insurance Society; Southerners as criminals.

Listeners may remember a year or so ago meeting Det. Chief Supt. Lewis, Div. Supt. Collins, and Det.-Insp. Raff in John Wainwright's last play for Saturday-Night Theatre, Death in a Sleeping City. In this, Lewis attempted an almost fatal one-man vendetta against two hired Mafia killers who brought violence and vengeance to his 'patch.' In tonight's play it is again outsiders who cause trouble.
