Crime Correspondent Dan Groves knows him, a local businessman with a changing personality. One day in the headlines as Bray the Bastard for his ruthlessness, the next the Angel of St Jude's after saving a hospice, then the Jeckyl and Hyde businessman when he spurns a plea to help a charity that organises holidays for disabled children.Dan''s new to the crime job.
