In 1983, Professor Robert Balfour was found floating in Airthrey Loch at the heart of Stirling University's campus. His death was deemed a tragic accident, but there were other, darker rumors. The death of a politics professor allegedly linked to the armed wing of the Scottish Liberation Brigade was always going to attract conspiracy theories. However, that's all they were. Theories. Until now. To mark the 40th anniversary of his father's death, Jonathan Rodriguez has traveled back to Stirling and has brought a camera crew with him. Rodriguez is convinced his father's death was no accident and that at least one of the killers wore a uniform. Desperate to make the problem go away, DCI Malcolm Ford turns to Connor Fraser for help. And then another body is found at nearby Bannockburn. On the trail of a double killer, Connor is forced to confront dark truths about the meaning of justice. And those truths may just break his heart or stop it, for good.

Praise for Neil Broadfoot: "Give Reacher a Scottish accent and a better moral compass and you get Connor Fraser. Tony Kent. Tense, fast-moving, and bloody. Broadfoot's best yet. Mason Cross. A true rising star of crime fiction. Ian Rankin. Beautifully crafted. There's no filler, no exposition, just action, dialogue, and layering of tension that'll hold you breathless until the very end. Helen Fields. Wonderfully grisly and grim, and a cracking pace. James Oswald. A frantic, pacy read with a compelling hero. Steve Cavanagh. A great read."
