Lefties: A Lot Of Balls
1
News on Sunday was a left-wing tabloid that launched to great fanfare in 1987 and went bankrupt just eight weeks later. It was one of the boldest business ventures ever attempted by the far left and it was a disaster. A group who met through a tiny left-wing faction called Big Flame were convinced it was possible to market a left-wing mass-circulation newspaper. They were led by ex-Ford worker Alan Hayling (now head of BBC Documentaries) under the editorial leadership of John Pilger, who walked out before the paper had even launched.

On a freezing December night in 1963, 13-year-old Alison Carter took her dog for a walk and was never seen again. As the entire country watched, newly-promoted Detective Inspector George Bennett turned up enough evidence to see his suspect hanged and was hailed a hero by the people of Scardale. More than four decades later, the lingering cloud left by the missing body of Alison Carter compels controversial filmmaker Catherine Heathcote to turn her camera to Bennett.

Karen est une jeune femme rafraîchissante, normale et charmante et démodée - elle n'est pas une flic habile et anticonformiste - mais sa bouche rapide et son ingéniosité en font une enquêteuse impressionnante. Après sa promotion au sein de l'unité des affaires historiques de la police écossaise, Karen est chargée de rouvrir l'enquête sur un meurtre qui a fait l'objet d'un podcast provocateur sur le vrai crime. Lorsque la barmaid adolescente Rosie Duff a été poignardée à mort en 1995, les soupçons sont tombés sur les trois étudiants ivres qui ont découvert son corps. Mais malgré les soupçons de la police, les garçons n'ont jamais été inculpés. Près de 25 ans plus tard, DS Karen Pirie est déterminée à découvrir ce qui s'est passé cette nuit fatidique. Les hommes en savent-ils plus qu'ils n'en ont révélé auparavant ? Lorsque Karen découvre des failles dans l'enquête initiale, elle se retrouve en conflit avec les mêmes officiers qui ont mené la chasse initiale au tueur.
