"1973's Bloody January was bad enough for Detective Harry McCoy: it's a miracle he lived to tell the tale. But three weeks on, the waters of Glasgow corruption seem to be creeping up around his feet once again. With one gang lord dead, the brokers of Glasgow vice are competing for control. Which means violence is coming. And it doesn't help that Cooper, McCoy's oldest friend, is one of the contenders in the new power vacuum. Then a case lands on his desk that would turn anyone's stomach. Murdered corpses are being found in abandoned buildings around the city, macabre messages carved onto their bare flesh. Just another dark day for Detective Harry McCoy."--Provided by publisher.
