About This Book
WHO IS TO BLAME WHEN NO ONE IS INNOCENT?
The papers want blood.
The force wants results.
The law must be served, whatever the cost.
July 1973. The Glasgow drugs trade is booming and Bobby March, the city's own rock-star hero, has just ODed in a central hotel.
Alice Kelly is twelve years old, lonely. And missing.
Meanwhile the niece of McCoy's boss has fallen in with a bad crowd. When she goes AWOL, McCoy is asked―off the books―to find her.
McCoy has a hunch. But does he have enough time?
