A savage murder with no apparent motive - DS Morrow's most
challenging case brings her work and home lives dangerously
close... From the two-time winner of the prestigious Theakstons Old
Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award. When wealthy Sarah Erroll
dies a violent death at her home in a posh part of Glasgow, the
local community is stunned by what appears to be a truly gratuitous
act. Heavily pregnant with desperately wanted twins, DS Alex Morrow
is called in to investigate and soon discovers that there is more
to Sarah's murder than it first seems. On the other side of town,
Thomas Anderson is called into the headmaster's office at his
boarding school to be told that his tyrannical father - a banker
responsible for the loss of many livelihoods in the recession - has
committed suicide by hanging himself from the old oak tree on the
lawn of their home. Thomas returns to the family home to find his
mother and sister in a state of numb shock. The head of the
household is dead, yet their initial reaction is not that of grief,
but relief. As Alex Morrow slowly unravels the connections between
the two cases, she faces her greatest challenge yet as her work and
home lives collide with potentially disastrous consequences.
