Episode 3
The mysterious American claims to have vital information about the flawed investigation and hints that there was a cover-up.
Peter Firth reads from James Robertson's powerful new novel which is inspired by some of the aspects and events surrounding the Lockerbie bombing.
Twenty-one years after his wife and daughter were murdered in the bombing of a plane over Scotland, Alan Tealing, a university lecturer, still does not know the truth of what really happened that night. Obsessed by the details of what he has come to call 'The Case', he is sure that the man convicted of the atrocity was not responsible.
A mysterious American, apparently a secret service agent, has arrived at Alan Tealing's door. Terminally ill, and keen to salve his conscience, he claims to have vital information about the flawed investigation and hints that there was a cover-up.
