Logan Finch has just about everything he's�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�more than�12�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 11-year-old daughter is missing.
