Taking The Low Road: When The System Doesn't Work

0/5 ( ratings)

When young boys disappear from Adelaide streets in the 1980s, it's a personal matter for Detective John Scobie as there are links to the unsolved murder of his school friend Rosie Mackenzie decades before in Scotland. To understand Scobie, and his bitterness towards sex offenders, we are taken back to Glasgow, where as a child he is abused by men in authority, and ironically, tutored in morals by a former gangster. When he migrates to Australia and joins the police he despairs at the injustice of paedophiles walking free. It takes him nearly thirty years to unlock the mystery of Rosie's disappearance but no time at all to do something about it. This doesn't involve the legal system.
