Logan Finch has just about everything he ever wanted, including a penthouse apartment and a shot at making partner in one of Scotland’s largest law firms. But there’s something missing from his life: he still pines for the woman he thought was ‘the one’ and who left him without a word of explanation over twelve years ago. Alex Cahill is one of Logan’s clients, and probably his best friend. The profane, gregarious American owns a successful security business but has a shadowy past and a capacity for violence. Detective Constable Rebecca Irvine, newly promoted to Strathclyde Police’s CID, is stuck in a failing marriage. On her first day in the new job she is called to a murder scene in the affluent Southside of Glasgow. The victim is Penny Grant, Logan’s former girlfriend. And her eleven-year-old daughter is missing. Against the backdrop of Glasgow city and its surroundings, GJ Moffat creates a taut thriller, a group of characters you would want to meet again and a gang of characters you most definitely wouldn’t.

'positively crackles from first page to last... An astonishingly accomplished debut with Grisham-like elan... If you read just one thriller this year, make it this one'
'Don't even think about stopping half-way through because this is a strictly one-sitting, white-knuckle adrenalin ride that will undoubtedly be one of the best debuts to hit the thriller shelves this year'
