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 heβs working on are the type that you want to get noticed for.
For starters, someone dumped a dying man outside the hospital. McRaeβs boss D.I. Roberta Steel and her team canβt 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 departmentβs accusations against Robert Macintyre, Aberdeenβs star soccer player and another media darling. WPC Jackie Watson, McRaeβs girlfriend, is convinced Robert is a serial rapist, but they canβt even hold him let alone charge him when the whole city thinks heβs being framed. Catching these perps is thankless work, and even if he does, it seems like McRaeβs chances of getting off Steelβs team are as bad as Aberdeenβs without their leading goal scorer.
