Removing Understatement sinkhole


Who is, as of the start of the book, [[{{Understatement}} not having the best time of his life]]: He's estranged from his wife due to an alcohol induced indiscretion on her part - him finding out about it by way of malicious tabloid mudslinging didn't help matters - and he's in prison, his erhmm...''unorthodox'' investigative methods [[KarmaHoudini having finally caught up with him]]. And as Parlabane is about to discover, prison might not be the best place to be if your previous efforts have secured other, and not very nice, people's lengthy stay in the same facility.
