‘An incisive novel by the queen of character-driven procedurals.’ Kirkus

Secrets, lies . . . bodies. They can all be washed away by Glasgow’s relentless River Clyde.

When student Aasha Ariti vanishes at the end of a glamorous night out, Detectives Anderson and Costello know exactly where to search for her. On the churning black tide, where the river meets the sea.

They almost miss her battered body, bobbing in the water. Until the searchlight chances on her fiery red party dress.

Aasha’s death troubles both detectives more than they want to admit. But justice for Aasha will have to wait.

The next day, Anderson and Costello are preparing to give the prime suspect the grilling of his life — only to be pulled off the case.

Instead they are called to a crumbling old bungalow across town, where a second body awaits. The mutilated corpse of an eighty-year-old man.

His wounds are shocking, for sure. But nothing to the unspeakable evidence that surrounds him.

Some crimes are darker than murder. Anderson and Costello are hunting an adversary who’s guilty of them all . . .

AN ELECTRIFYING SCOTTISH THRILLER WITH A HEART-STOPPING FINALE.

Fans of Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, Peter May, J.M. Dalgliesh, J.D. Kirk, Daniel Sellers and Ann Cleeves will devour these tense and darkly atmospheric Scottish mysteries.
