IDLE HANDS
The murder investigation of retired businessman lain Bower is proving frustrating for Detective Inspector Jim Meldrum. Having worked abroad for many years, Bower had moved to Edinburgh only recently, and seems to have had few acquaintances and no enemies.

Until, that is, an unknown man appears at his funeral, pisses into the open grave and runs off.

Step by step, Jim Meldrum uncovers the sinister secrets surrounding Bower's past. Secrets that have lain buried for more than thirty years. Secrets which will emerge with unexpected and devastating consequences. Secrets which are about to take Meldrum himself to the edge of darkness.
