Popping into DWSC towers today, we have the fantastic actor and host of the Theatre of Crime Podcast, Pearl Mackie, who shows us that melodramatics can go a long way in getting justice.  Pearl then assists in the detective work of a case that sees the price some people will pay to carry out their friend's wishes.
