A Ripple of Murder — George Donald

The discovery of the naked corpse of a young woman leads Detective Chief Inspector Lynn Massey into the murky world of the enforced prostitution of illegal immigrants. As more bodies turn up, it quickly becomes apparent that the sex-trade criminals are themselves being targeted by a vengeful foe. While the police struggle to link the murders, irresponsible media reporting accuses local fascists of involvement and the resulting tension threatens to engulf Glasgow in racial violence. Added to Massey's problems is her failing marriage and the increasing suspicion that one of her team is colluding with the very criminals she seeks to apprehend. As the story proceeds, the author draws in the lives and fears of several characters, that culminate in a violent and deadly conclusion.
