A body found under ancient Edinburgh. A hidden serial killer.

Things are finally going well for Acting Detective Sergeant Scott Cullen Scott Cullen. He’s just moved in with his girlfriend and, thanks to the recent police force merger, the promotion he craves is almost in reach. Just so long as he can keep out of trouble…Then a severely decomposed body of a man is found in the labyrinthine alleyways of Edinburgh’s Old Town with a screwdriver through his heart. A message daubed on the wall:

I will kill again.

As Cullen races against time to save lives, the investigation leads him to unsettled scores in the music industry, where bands and their bitter rivalries might just have turned murderous.

Then Cullen’s relationship takes an alarming turn, just as the unsolved case begins to weigh heavily on him.

His maverick tactics have helped him in the past, but will they come back to haunt him — and put others in danger?
