Marnie visits the murdered soldier鈥檚 widow and looks for clues in his past. By Nick Walker.
DISCO by Nick Walker
People don鈥檛 always notice Marnie Crawford, but they underestimate her at their peril.She is a huge fan of Sister Sledge; she knows about cognitive bias theory, she uses voice notes to help her think, and in the police she has an 85% crime solve rate.
Seeking to improve their declining arrest record, the Ministry of Defence has set up a new unit of the Military Police and have asked Marnie, a civilian, to head it up.
The new unit is D:SCO (Defence: Serious Case Operations). And, of course, everyone calls it DISCO 鈥�
Episode 2: Anchoring Bias
