Killing the Butterfly by Colin MacDonald was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 2 December 2006. A romantic thriller set on the sleeper between London Euston and Edinburgh. Two murder witnesses are put under police protection pending the High Court trial. But something goes wrong and they have to flee, never knowing whom it's safe to trust. A librarian and a lawyer's PA are thrust into Edinburgh's dark underbelly after witnessing a gangland execution. Though nervous of the consequences, Barker and Hannah agree to give evidence against the killers and are put under police protection until the case comes to court. But news of their whereabouts reaches the killer's friends and the pair have to run for their lives, never knowing who is friend and who is foe.
