Description
The Granite City is ready to burn, and all it takes is a single spark
In the heat of a blistering summer, Aberdeens police are struggling: half the force is off sick, all leave has been cancelled, someones firebombed a hotel full of migrants, and theres a massive protest march happening this Saturday.
With officers dropping like flies, Detective Inspector Logan McRae is forced to juggle cases and run a major murder investigation with a skeleton staff of misfits, idiots and malingerers until the top brass can arrange back-up from other divisions.
It doesnt help that the Aberdeen Examiner has just been bought by Natasha Agapova, a tabloid media tycoon, hell-bent on blaming local police for everything. And shes more than happy to fan the flames.
But, as bad as everything seems, its all about to get much, much worse . . .
