‘Framed’ is set in a world in which crime is organised, violent and the rewards are enough to make even the allegedly incorruptible think twice.
It’s 1999 London. ‘Mr Big’ is accused of being the brains behind a multi-million pound robbery in the City. He claims that he is the victim of a police frame up. And he’s credible.
It’s Slater’s first major case as a private detective after leaving the murky waters of ‘government service’ in Northern Ireland.
As a novice in the game, facing threats to his own life and the lives of those he loves – while dealing with multiple murders – his way of seeking justice is far from orthodox and not for the faint hearted. Can he deliver? Or is this Slater’s first case – and his last?
Stephen Scott has been an investigative journalist and television producer for more than forty years. In a dozen years at the BBC’s Panorama programme his films included exposing decades of corruption in British horseracing; how a company run by Rupert Murdoch bugged computers and employed hackers to destroy a rival British satellite broadcaster; and the scandalous history of miscarriages of justice brought about by the South Wales Police.
As a young journalist he was arrested under the Official Secrets Act after exposing how Britain’s intelligence service, MI6, had recruited as an agent the notorious drug smuggler Howard Marks.
In a documentary for ITV, ‘Confession’ (1995) he conducted the first major interview with an IRA commander, Eamon Collins.
Most recently, he was the consultant for a four-part Sky documentary series “Murder in the Valleys” (2022) which investigated the shocking murder of an entire family in Clydach. And also for C4’s ‘Dispatches’: “Corrupt Cops: What the Met knew” (2022).
