Winter 1990 Why was Alex Carnegie - heir to a corporate fortune - living rough on the streets of Ashbeck when he was murdered? DI Lyle and his team soon discover that Carnegie was the keeper of a dark secret which, if exposed, could topple pillars of Ashbeck society. The suspect's identity is clear early on but there is no definite evidence. As the investigation continues, two more murders challenge the status quo. As Lyle digs deeper, he finds that all is not what it seems but the truth is even darker and more sordid than he could ever have imagined. And who is the traitor in the ranks at Ashbeck CID?
