"This time, revenge is a matter of life or death" --Front cover.

A young man, the son of an influential businessman, is discovered dead in his central Aberdeen apartment. Hours later, a teenaged girl with no identification is found hanged in a suspected suicide. As DI Eve Hunter and her team investigate the two cases, they find themselves in a tug-of-war between privilege and poverty; between the elite and those on the fringes of society. Then an unexpected breakthrough leads them to the shocking conclusion: that those in power have been at the top for too long -- and now, someone is going to desperate lengths to bring them down. Can they stop someone who is dead set on revenge, no matter the cost?
