'A fresh take on classic noir. Elegant, crisply written and pacy!' Kate Griffin
London 1922.
American ex-pat Logan Bishop, suffering from shell-shock and an addiction to morphine, is working as a Private Investigator.
When Logan’s father, Reverend Daniel Bishop, arrives from Chicago, desperate to see his son, Logan wants nothing to do with him.
That is, until his father is brutally attacked. Daniel begs his son to find Greta Matas, a Bolshevik woman with an unknown connection to his father, in Edinburgh before she is murdered. Before Logan can learn more, his father slips into a coma.
Logan takes the first train to Edinburgh. The journey proves far from routine, however, and two mysterious men follow the investigator out of Waverley Station.
Logan soon discovers that Greta is missing and her son, Peter, is wanted for murder. The case begins to take a darker and deadlier turn than he ever imagined.
As Edinburgh police suspect Logan of keeping information from them, the pressure to find Greta and her son increases.
Secrets and lies are exposed as Logan clashes with Chicago gangsters, the authorities, and Edinburgh’s elite to expose the truth behind the woman's disappearance.
