Two hideous murders, one devastating fire and a massive loss to his team of detectives when DS Jake Jacobstein is removed from the case, have left DI Ben Pollock with problems that seem insurmountable.
Glasgow's Camlachie district has once more challenged Pollock's ingenuity, a quality that is sorely needed to overcome a double killer whose hideous crimes have left the long-suffering citizens of Glasgow's East End in a terror that threatens to overwhelm them, and a fire-raiser with a complete disregard for human life.
Death is stalking the old, crowded streets and alleys of the East End and Pollock has vowed no rest will be his until he brings justice to the targeted people of Camlachie.
