All DC Edward Reekie had to do was pick up a dying prisoner from HMP Grampian and deliver him somewhere to live out his last few months in peace... From the outside, Glenfarach looks like a quaint, sleepy village, but things aren't what they seem. The place is thick with security cameras, and there's a strict curfew; because Glenfarach is the final sanctuary for people whove served their sentences but can't be safely released into the general population. After delivering their man, Edward's boss, DI Montgomery-Porter, insists they head back immediately. But when an ex-cop-turned-gangster is discovered tortured to death in his cottage, SOMEONE needs to take charge.
