Personal Synopsis
Corporate espionage is a new one for this series and I liked it. Finally straying from the classic private eye work and moving towards something we know happens in real life. The addition of Ludo Jones played by John Kane was a nice touch to what would have been a mediocre story. His character provides quirky comedic relief to a static detective escapade. Basil Dignam is always good to watch as well.
