DC Ernie Bright is dead. A good cop gone bad? Not everyone believes that one of Tayside Constabulary’s longest serving detectives was leading a double life. One of those looking to vindicate the dead copper is Bright’s protege, private investigator J McNee, who has his own reasons for trying to prove Bright’s innocence. But as the evidence piles up and McNee makes enemies on both sides of the law, he finds that justice and the law are not always the same, and that good people can make bad decisions. Dark, violent and psychologically gripping, the third in the critically acclaimed J McNee series will change the Dundee detective’s world forever.

Suspended from the Association of British Investigators and facing an enquiry into his alleged misconduct over four years previously, J McNee’s career hangs in the balance. The last thing he needs is new business. But when the mother of a murdered child asks him to re-open a case he helped close during his time in the police, McNee can’t refuse. Is the wrong man serving a life sentence for a series of brutal murders? And, if so, why did he admit his guilt before the court? As McNee searches for answers, he finds himself forced to make a terrifying moral choice: one that will change his life forever.

The fifth entry in the J McNee series finds the Dundonian detective on the wrong side of the law, and headed for a final showdown with the city’s Godfather, David Burns.

But for a man who prides himself on his ethical code, maintaining his cover is going to prove increasingly dangerous.

As Dundee’s streets become the backdrop for a bloody gang war, how far is McNee willing to go before he crosses the line?

The fifth novel to feature J McNee is the thrilling finale to a series that “does for Dundee what Rankin did for Edinburgh” (James Oswald, author of the Tony McLean novels).
