ABSTRACT

A shadow crossed Dexter Veriform's prison hospital bed and dimmed the shaft of sun from barred window. 'The guardian of righteousness,' he grunted. 'Light and dark, right and wrong. Doctors and police have a lot in common. We authority figures are called out at all hours for people's life crises. This extracts a toll on our families; both professions have high divorce rates. We must be obeyed at work, but try that at home and the consequences are unmentionable. And drugs are always close. It's merely a difference of approach.'
