On a beautiful summer evening in 1994, a single gunshot rang out in Kirkwall - the vibrant and peaceful capital of Orkney. It was an event that would forever alter the tranquil rhythm of life on the Islands.

"If only all true crime documentaries were this gripping. The case concerns an event which shocked Orkney and the whole of the UK in 1994: in a place were murder and serious crime were and are rare, a masked man entered a Bangladeshi-run restaurant in Kirkwall and gunned down waiter Shamsuddin Mahmoud. Was it a race-hate crime, a contract killing, or something else? The engrossing drama of the case itself is balanced by concern for the victim, for the witnesses and for the effect an unbelievable series of events had on a normally laid back community."
