Craig Campbell's quiet life as an insurance investigator is turned upside down when Ann Kilpatrick hires him to find her son's killer. He doesn't believe he can help but reluctantly agrees to investigate. Before long he is plunged into a world of corruption, deceit and greed. His journey takes him from the underbelly of Glaswegian society to the rural idyll of a millionaire's mansion. Along the way, a death close to home ensures that he has a personal reason to face the dangers and bring the murderer to justice.
