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 he’s working on are the
type that you want to get noticed for.
For starters, someone dumped a dying man outside the
hospital. McRae’s boss D.I. Roberta Steel and her team
can’t 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
department’s accusations against Robert Macintyre,
Aberdeen’s star soccer player and another media darling.
WPC Jackie Watson, McRae’s girlfriend, is convinced Robert
is a serial rapist, but they can’t even hold him let alone
charge him when the whole city thinks he’s being framed.
Catching these perps is thankless work, and even if he
does, it seems like McRae’s chances of getting off Steel’s
team are as bad as Aberdeen’s without their leading goal
scorer.
