Jardine has an affair with a woman who works in an art gallery who had her car stolen.
However Valerie Sinclair might be latching on to Jardine for other reasons. Her boss runs an art gallery, he might have financial problems and there could be a link with the Glasgow art world and drug smuggling.
Taggart has already come across two bodies found in compacted cars in a scrapyard.
This is short form episode as it was shown as a Christmas special.
It is another labyrinth episode where anyone could be a suspect. Peter Mullan plays a dangerous provocateur who has done time.
Then there are scenes of a severely disabled man. I am sure that cannot be random.
It is enjoyable enough. Although I find it hard to believe that Taggart was the only one at the police station who did not know of Jardine's nocturnal activities.
Jackie Reid who was introduced in a previous episode joins the detectives and it all ends in a tense finale.
