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.

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
