About this episode
Before the internet. Before CCTV. A bomb nearly decapitated the British government — and that was just the beginning. Author Stephen James joins us to unpack High Vis Murder, a historically grounded thriller rooted in the IRA, the miners' strike of 1984, and a personal vendetta that spirals into something far darker — and uncomfortably familiar. If you think the battle between the public and the institutions meant to protect them is a modern problem, this book will remind you it's been burning for decades.
