Murder is nothing new in the Depression-era city, especially to w ar veterans
Inspector Jimmy Dreghorn and his partner ‘Bonnie’ Archie McDaid. But the dead man found in a narrow boat on the Forth and Clyde Canal, executed w ith a single shot to the back of the head, is no ordinary killing.
Violence usually erupts in the heat of the moment – the razor-gangs that stalk the streets settle scores w ith knives and fists. Firearms suggest something more sinister, especially w hen the killer strikes again. Meanw hile, other forces are stirring w ithin the Empire’s second city. A suspected IRA cell is at large, embedded w ithin the criminal gangs, and attracting the ruthless attention of Special Branch agents from London.
With political and sectarian tensions rising, and the body count mounting, Dreghorn and McDaid pursue an investigation into the dark heart of humanity – w here one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist, and noble ideals are sw ept aw ay by bloody vengeance.
