Dire Detective

New detective Stewart Byrnes is not only a novice but an unlikely one at that. Well-meaning but let's say a bit gentle natured for his avocation. Sooner or later, trouble, and violent trouble at that, seemed to visit him. His ability to rise to the occasion when confronted with physical unpleasantness would be a protracted ordeal.Stewart would survive all of this, but friends and coworkers fell prey to the drug merchants and crooked officials. A sobering look at the very dark side of drugs.
