The End of My Tether

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Inspector Kernan is investigating the murder of Bernard Tench, a whistleblowing scientist who knew too much about BSE. As Kernan uncovers links between sleaze and slaughter, between pollution and police, his new sidekick Diana Hunter realizes that her eccentric inspector is no ordinary man.

Using ancient songs, folklore and superstitions for guidance, Kernan enlists animal informants and supernatural allies against the sinister Superintendent Goodman to uncover what's rotten in the state of England.
