Wasted

Investigative journalist Rosa Underwood is still scarred from exposing Alistair Curran - the corrupt politician who nearly killed her. Back at The Sentinel, she's determined to keep digging. When her confidential source turns up dead in Edinburgh's Union Canal, Rosa suspects murder. The police call it an accident.

As Rosa and her colleague Priya Banerjee chase the truth, they uncover a trail of shady waste management firms, political cover-ups, and money vanishing into the dark. Every lead drags them deeper into a world where power buys silence and the cost of exposure is blood.

Wasted is a razor-edged noir thriller of corruption, betrayal, and survival in the shadows of modern Scotland - perfect for fans of Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, and the hard-boiled grit of Scottish noir.
