Storyline/synopsis: The newly built Wellesley Estate - a modern concrete-and-glass residential development with its own schools and community centre - has become a focus for meaningless violence which the police are unable to explain or control. Intimidated by fear of rape, muggings, fire-raising, window smashing, even murder, its inhabitants set about forming their own vigilante group.

Elsewhere, Dino Orsini, the "white sheep" of his family, is helping the police in their investigation into the death of his two brothers, in what appear to be vicious gang-land slayings. And in yet another part of London, all the stops are out in an attempt to trace the kidnapped wife of leading biscuit manufacturer, Thomas Cargill-even the rather controversial services of a Czech clairvoyant are being used.

A list of crimes to make the average policeman blanch. But to Commander George Gideon they offer a challenge - and one that must be overcome if the Law, which he has served, represented and fought for all his working life, is not finally to break down
