“Alex Morrow, a detective sergeant with the Strathclyde police force, is another of Mina’s prickly heroines, the kind you love at your own risk…She’s also the smartest cop in the shop, the only one sensitive enough to interpret the subtle vagaries of human behavior. It’s a huge pleasure to watch her crack the ‘family myths and fables’ that blood relatives instinctively adopt as protection from outsiders—and as a way of preserving themselves from members of their own clan.”

New York Times

Alex Morrow is not new to the police force-or to crime-but there is nothing familiar about the call she has just received. On a still night in a quiet suburb of Glasgow, Scotland, three armed men have slipped from a van into a house, demanding a man who is not, and has never been, inside the front door. In the confusion that ensues, one family member is shot and another kidnapped, the assailants demanding an impossible ransom. Is this the amateur crime gone horribly wrong that it seems, or something much more unexpected?
