When John MacLennan invaded the life of Aileen, a radio talk show host, in 1980 he was already dead. He was on a dissecting table with a pathologist cutting out his heart. Police Inspector MacLennan was found dead in his locked Hong Kong flat. At first glance, his death appeared to be suicide; there was a note. But there were also five bullet wounds in his chestseemingly too many to be self-inflicted. Rumours swirl about his suspicious death. Maybe MacLennan had upset the gangsters by hounding them.

Based on actual events, Open Verdict offers a fictionalized account of MacLennans case written by Ken Bridgewater, who lived in Hong Kong at the time.
