He buried his victim alive. And now he’s escaped from prison and is on the run in the city.
Fiona Henderson, the daughter of the victim, has descended into a world of silence following her mother’s murder – and has suddenly gone missing. Next, the body of a homeless person is found among the rubbish in a deserted alleyway.
As DIs Wheeler and Ross investigate, more suspicious deaths occur and a pattern emerges: the victims are all homeless. And so the police are pitched against a killer who is hellbent on a mission to rid the streets of the vulnerable and dispossessed.
With their investigation taking them further into Glasgow’s netherworld, Wheeler and Ross uncover a criminal class ruthlessly willing to exploit the disaffected and a city of double standards, where morality is bought and sold.
When the killer begins stalking DI Wheeler, she and Ross realise that the threat has become personal.

A well-paced and gripping crime fiction debut
Randall has grown in confidence since her debut, and this is as assured and clever a novel of "tartan noir" as you could hope to find
Brilliant
For fans of Stuart MacBride, this is a delight to read. A J McCreanor is a welcome addition to the Scottish crime scene. Glasgow is in very dangerous hands
...fast paced, exciting and gritty crime debut...fans of Ian Rankin and Val McDermid will be delighted to add a new author to the their must-read list
A super story with a breath-taking ending that leaves you wondering whether the truth is better left unsaid at times. I loved this story and am keen to read more by this author in the future. She is definitely a name to watch! Highly recommended
An outstanding debut
