The third book in the awards listed Harcus & Laird series

Maggie and Wilma are back, and this time Maggie means business. Intent on clearing her late husband's name, she's burning the candle at both ends, trying to keep her teenaged kids out of trouble and working the private investigating business to keep the wolf from the door.

A surprising, gritty, sometimes darkly humorous tale that combines police corruption, gangs and murder with a paean to friendship, loyalty and how 'women of a certain age' can beat the odds.

The fourth thriller in the multi-award-nominated Harcus & Laird series.

In this fifth Harcus & Laird novel, PIs Maggie and Wilma find themselves chasing leads on several fronts, including a missing Aberdeen schoolchild and the fallout from a disturbing hanging with a backstory of secrets and lies.
