Winter arrives early for George White - and with it, a brutal end. The cheeky octogenarian, housebound and reliant on carers, is found stabbed through the heart in his favourite chair, the TV still on, and his breakfast barely touched. There's no sign of forced entry, no struggle - just an old trophy smashed and displayed as a grim calling card.
But why would anyone murder a man like George?
As Detective Chief Inspector Suzanna McLeod investigates, a darker side of George's life begins to surface. Suspicions mount around family, neighbours, and former colleagues, but a shocking discovery - a business card linked to Edinburgh's prostitution and sex trafficking underworld - forces the case into dangerous territory. What seemed like a single murder may be part of a far more sinister pattern.
With fears that George's calculated execution could be the start of a killing spree, Suzanna must act quickly. She's seen this kind of escalation before, under someone else's watch-and she won't let history repeat itself.
The clock is ticking as Suzanna races to uncover the killer's identity and prevent further bloodshed.
