A Tale Of Scorpions is a fictionalised account of an actual murder and ensuing trial in the early 1970s. It concerns an attempt to convict, on entirely circumstantial evidence, a known criminal of a violent murder.
When Tony Blake is ruthlessly shotgunned on Guy Fawkes night outside his house, was the killer in the shadows? Aided by anonymous information, the police assemble a compelling case against a local associate of the victim but not all of the pieces of the jigsaw fit comfortably together.
