Inspector George Gently plot
George Gently is about an old-fashioned Scotland Yard detective who, in the 1960s, tries to reconcile with the fact that the line between police officer and criminal is becoming increasingly blurred. He is one of the few who still consider it his duty to serve the country. It is 1964, the eve of the sexual revolution. The increase in drug use will significantly change the work of the police. George Gently hires the young ambitious Detective Sergeant Bacchus in Northumberland for the first case. But can he be trusted? How honest is he?
