Description
Glasgow. Blink and it owns you. For middle-aged detective Liam Keenan, the problems are stacking up.
For middle-aged detective Liam Keenan, the problems are stacking up. He’s put twenty years into a job he never wanted. His on-off girlfriend has left him for her husband. Criminals across the East End are dropping dead. And Liam has broken the golden rule, never fall for a suspect. Especially not one who has an idea how to put her hands on three million pounds in cash.
