Synopsis

Roger ‘Handsome’ West of Scotland Yard, its best and most down to earth detective, finds himself fighting for his life, after he is called upon to investigate a brutal attack on Danny O’Hara. It had taken place in a luxury penthouse, where there was a mirrored bedroom and a mysterious, concealed, safe. The trail leads to an abortion clinic catering for starlets and a major film studio, but how are these linked and why is West in more danger than even he realises?
