For years, rumors of the ' Marsh Girl' have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast.
So in late
...
Detective Catherine Mc Leod was always taught that in Glasgow, they don't do whodunit. They do score-settling. They do vendettas. They do petty revenge. They do can't-miss-whodunit. It's a lesson that has served her well, but Glasgow is also a dangerous place to make assumptions. Either way she looks at it, she recognises that the discovery of a dead drug-dealer in a back alley is merely a portent of further deaths to come. Elsewhere in the city, aspiring actress Jasmine Sharp is reluctantly
- & incompetently
- earning a crust working for her uncle Jim's private investigation business. When Jim goes missing, Jasmine has to take on the investigator mantle for real, & her only lead points to Glen Fallan, a gangland enforcer & professional assassin whose reputation is rendered only slightly less terrifying by having been dead for twenty years. Cautiously tracing an accomplished killer's footsteps, Jasmine stumbles into a web of corruption & decades-hidden secrets that could tear apart an entire police force
- if she can stay alive long enough to tell the tale.
