The visit from a former CIA man, who claims to have key information to impart, has triggered painful memories for Alan of the aftermath of the bombing.

Peter Firth reads from the new novel by leading Scottish author James Robertson. It's a powerful work of fiction inspired by some of the aspects and events surrounding the Lockerbie bombing.

Twenty-one years after his wife and daughter were murdered in the bombing of a plane over Scotland, Alan Tealing, a university lecturer, still does not know the truth of what really happened that night. Obsessed by the details of what he has come to call 'The Case', he is sure that the man convicted of the atrocity was not responsible.
