Episode Overview
Ch. Insp. Conway crosses paths with the "Sun Hill Angels" at an event, an escort service that DS Boulton suspects is also involved in drug trafficking. Persuaded by Boulton, Conway agrees to assist in a sting operation against the Angels, but things take a disastrous turn when Conway's chosen 'escort' is revealed to be an undercover journalist targeting a senior police officer. To prevent the story from hitting the headlines, Boulton and Conway invite the newspaper to participate in their investigation of Chapman, the Angels' owner. When reporter Geraldine Sands visits Chapman's residence to retrieve the drugs, she mysteriously vanishes, but the police soon discover that she is more than capable of handling the situation herself.
