About this title

Synopsis

Glasgow: When a body is pulled from the River Clyde, DCI Andy Gilchrist can't understand why he's been dragged from his St Andrews patch to investigate. But the victim didn't jump, he was pushed, and his disposal has the hallmark of a gangland killing.

Fearing this may be just the beginning, Gilchrist and DS Jessie Janes race to get the lowdown from old contact Arletta Shepherd, matriarch of an infamous crime family. But she's gone deep underground, hiding from a threat far worse than the police: a murderous conspiracy to shift the balance of power in the criminal underworld in Scotland and beyond.

A hair-raising game of cat and mouse uncovers sudden disappearances, brutal killings and a funeral parlour fronting the bloodiest of activities. Gilchrist and Janes are hot on the trail of the power-hungry gangsters, but they won't come quietly. They set in motion ever-more sadistic acts of retribution, and their sights are set on Gilchrist.

Can Gilchrist and Janes outsmart the most ruthless criminal minds in Scotland, or are they just pawns in a brutal power play, destined to add to the body count?
