Storyline
Bruce Robertson is a Detective Sergeant in Edinburgh, Scotland, who is a scheming, manipulative, misanthropic bully who spends his free time indulging in drugs, alcohol, abusive sexual relationships, and ‘the games’ — his euphemism for the vindictive plots he hatches to cause trouble for people he dislikes, including many of his colleagues.

“The author of a book pretty much gives up control of the story when the producers take over a book to make it into a movie.”
