From the award-winning author comes a much-anticipated sequel to the Scottish Crime Book of the Year The Quaker. . . Glasgow 1975 A deadly fire An arson attack on a Glasgow warehouse causes the deaths of a young mother and child. Police suspect it' s the latest act in a brutal gang warfare that' s tearing the city apart - one that DI Duncan McCormack has been tasked with stopping. A brutal murder Five years ago he was walking on water as the cop who tracked down a notorious serial killer. But he made powerful enemies and when a mutilated body is found in a Tradeston slum, McCormack is assigned a case that no one wants. The dead man is wearing a masonic ring, though, and Duncan realizes the victim is not the down-and-out his boss had first assumed. A catastrophic explosion As McCormack looks into both crimes, the investigations are disrupted by a shocking event. A bomb rips through a pub packed with people - and a cop is killed in the blast. The cases are stacking up and with one of his own unit now dead, McCormack is in the firing line. But he' s starting to see a thread - one that connects all three attacks. . .
