Summaries

Good policing doesn't necessarily mean doing everything by the book. But as the business of crime in London turns to favour the Albanians and Turks, how does a "good" policeman survive?

Michael Logan is a police detective in London. His area is drugs and this brings him into contact with European drug syndicates. Logan is happy to turn a blind eye to their dealings, for a cut, or confiscate suppliers' merchandise for their own profit. So far he and his equally-crooked police colleagues have done quite well out of this. Then a deal he was planning with a member of a Turkish drug cartel goes sour and the balance of power swings to an Albanian gang, run by two brothers, the Kabashis. Logan quickly aims to provide the Albanians with the same service he provided the Turks, but they aren't easily lead. Meanwhile, he an his colleagues are being investigated by Internal Affairs. Just to make his life more complicated, he has been seconded to a vice task force, run by a former colleague whom he does not get along with.—grantss

Investigating the boundary of good policing, Hyena follows Michael, a ruthless undercover cop, who works targeting London's most violent drug traffickers. He and his team aren't above taking their cut from the criminals they're charged with taking on - but as the business of crime in London turns to favour the Albanians and Turks, and he's threatened with exposure, he's forced to rapidly shift his loyalties and sell out his allies in order to stay alive.
