Found bound and beaten in a warehouse, a convicted criminal leaves a cryptic message before he croaks on the way to hospital.

What did he know that was worth killing for? DI McCord sets out on the icy streets of Edinburgh to look for a clue.

But fate seems determined to force their paths to cross, and trouble is rarely far behind.
