The sixth gripping thriller in the No.1 bestselling crime series from the award-winning Stuart MacBride.

Scotland's finest see first-hand how starting again can be murder...

'MacBride is a damned fine writer' Peter James

Everyone deserves a second chance...

Richard Knox has done his time and seen the error of his ways. He wants to leave his dark past behind, so why shouldn't he be allowed to live wherever he wants?

Detective Sergeant Logan McRae isn't thrilled about having to help a violent rapist settle into Aberdeen. Even worse, he's stuck with the man who put Knox behind bars, DSI Danby, supposedly to 'keep an eye on things'.

Only things are about to go very, very wrong.

Edinburgh gangster Malk the Knife wants a slice of Aberdeen's latest development boom. Local crime lord Wee Hamish Mowat has ominous plans for Logan's future. And Knox's past isn't finished with him yet...
