Sergeant Logan McRae is in trouble??? His missing-persons investigation has just turned up a body in the woods ??? naked, hands tied behind its back and a bin bag duct-taped over its head. The Major Investigation Team charges up from Aberdeen, under the beady eye of Logan???s ex-boss Detective Chief Inspector Steel. And, as usual, she wants him to do her job for her. But it???s not going to be easy: A new Superintendent is on her way up from the Serious Organised Crime Task Force, hell-bent on making Logan???s life miserable; Professional Standards are gunning for Steel and Wee Hamish Mowat, head of Aberdeen???s criminal underbelly, is dying ??? leaving rival gangs from all over the UK eying his territory. There???s a war brewing and Logan???s trapped right in the middle, whether he likes it or not.
