About this listen
When a bunch of neo-fascist thugs named The Bulldogs attack a Gay pride march in the sleepy country town of Lafferton, detective Simon Serrailler moves quickly to find the assailants. He’s already got his hands full making security arrangements for a memorial service to honour soldiers returning from Afghanistan. When anonymous threats come in, Serrailler wonders if the Bulldogs are behind these too - and worries that they know the Prince of Wales will be in attendance. As the day approaches, the threats intensify, and Serrailler finds himself racing against the clock to prevent catastrophe.

Would you listen to A Breach of Security again? Why?
This is a long short story within the larger Serrailler series and so doesn't have the complexity of the novels. It's read well and may serve as a taster to anyone new to Hill's outstanding series.A long short story

Any additional comments?
Downloaded for two main reasons: 1, it was free: 2, Steven Pacey.I've read a couple of books by Susan Hill and have not really taken with her for reasons I cannot explain. This was a really good short story however, and I would be interested in reading a proper book from within this series.
Pacey, as ever, is amazing.
