The body of Paul Shore toppled onto him, a stream of blood pooling around them on the concrete. Bernard lay back and waited to see if he too was going to die.An undercover agent gone rogue is threatening to shoot a civil servant a day. As panic reigns, the Health Enforcement Team race against time to track him down - before someone turns the gun on them.

As Bryce threatens to shoot a civil servant every day until his demands are met, the civil service is in melt-down.

It's getting dangerous - and not just for the team.
