A
police officer who has been investigating white-collar crimes is shot
dead in a TV-studio. Another policeman takes his own life at his summer
home. A young woman, an executive with a powerful electronics concern,
also commits suicide. Her embittered father suspects foul play and he
invites Raid, the woman's former boyfriend to "make inquiries".
Meanwhile, the police are looking for the first killer - and the trail
leads inexorably to Raid. Very soon, however, they realise that the
guilty party is somewhere else, and the interests of the police and
the avenging angel Raid converge. The unholy alliance shows that even
those with morals may, to some extent, use immoral means to achieve
an end.
The
Raid series was voted the best TV-programme in Finland year 2000. Tapio
Piirainen received an award for best script and best direction. The
series was also honoured with a prestigious film award and the Finnish
Whodunit Society's award. The music from the series sold gold and platinum.
