Nearly bouncing back from a transfer, Detective Sergeant Logan McRae is still looking at nothing but dead ends. His only chance of escaping his current post is to get noticed. Not that any of the cases heโs working on are the type that you want to get noticed for.
For starters, someone dumped a dying man outside the hospital. McRaeโs boss D.I. Roberta Steel and her team canโt get an ID on the man, the person who dropped him off, or the car. McRae's second case is hardly any better. It involves a knife-wielding eight-year-old who is not only still at large but getting all kinds of sympathy in the newspapers. That kind of press does little for the departmentโs accusations against Robert Macintyre, Aberdeenโs star soccer player and another media darling. WPC Jackie Watson, McRaeโs girlfriend, is convinced Robert is a serial rapist, but they canโt even hold him let alone charge him when the whole city thinks heโs being framed. Catching these perps is thankless work, and even if he does, it seems like McRaeโs chances of getting off Steelโs team are as bad as Aberdeenโs without their leading goal scorer.
