Summary Denis Quilley is John Ryder a former senior police officer who resigned from the force under a cloud due to conflict with his senior officer. Setting up as a consultant operating out of Kathy's nightclub whose owner is also his lover Ryder takes on cases from protecting visiting businessmen to retrieving stolen paintings whilst remaining within the boundaries of the law. Always in need of money due to his divorce Ryder finds himself on the receiving end of some violent assaults in the course of his endeavours. A truly excellent and entertaining thriller series with supporting cast of well known uk actors and Quilley excelling in his role as principled but resourceful consultant. This would have been an excellent long term series and probably better named Ryder but alas we only got 6 superb episodes. Very much worth seeking out for fans of mystery thriller genre.
