All is not what it seems in this chilling episode of Taggart, where the charismatic principal of a pyramid finance group is found murdered in a field, with a fistful of money jammed into her mouth.

The city of Glasgow provides a unique backdrop and its characteristic dry wit, creates another winning episode that has accessible characterisation, intelligent writing and fiendishly superb plotlines.

The popular Scottish police drama, Taggart, returns to ABC1 for repeat screenings.

As the team begins to investigate a suspicious death at an army training camp they find that civilian rules don't apply. Recruits are being trained up for the demands of war zones, and to be prepared to kill or be killed.

When a sniper starts killing men associated with the training camp, the army closes rank. Information is given on a need-to-know basis only, so DI Ross (John Michie) moves into the camp to try and understand the mentality of the trainees and the regime. He's also out to prove himself after a poor appraisal from Bourke (Alex Norton). Can he prevent more young soldiers being killed?
