Decoy
Prismark1013 September 2022
This story might have been shown over 40 years ago. Little has changed how the justice system treats the victims of rape.

DI Forbes words have resonant now as it did then.

Maggie Forbes goes undercover as a barmaid in a London pub owned by an ex boxer. There has been a series of rapes in the area.

The police are convinced that the rapist is either a member of the staff of the pub or a punter.

The latest victim was a part time barmaid who worked at the pub. There is also a nosy journalist covering the case.

Maggie Forbes finds one customer acting creepy. After her first shift, it is another barmaid who is attacked.

The director manages to deal with the social issues and has a few red herrings regarding the rapist. The actual culprit did come as a surprise to me.
