Frustration for Zac"s parents as they realize that the cops have given up on the case of charging someone with the murder of their son.

Spoilery: so turns out Verinder ("Indian Dave") was quite a gangster and a deadly one at that. When Rachelle met him, she saw him exactly as he wanted to be seen: diminuitive, harmless, caring, and concerned for Zac. Not really. We're getting a lot of his background story here, no doubt for context. At any rate he died a few years ago.

So far I'm not too thrilled with this one. Empire of Pain was excellent but infuriating. This one feels like a thin story surrounded by a lot of pillows such as history of London (OK, I'm here for that), banking history during the recession, the Russian influx during the 2000s. I don't care about that. Some of it gives context for the story, but it mainly feels like filler and that's not what I'm here for.
