Description
Don't stoke the flames unless you want to get burned . . .It's not going well for Aberdeen's NE Division: half the force is off sick, all leave has been cancelled, someone has firebombed a hotel full of migrants and there's a massive protest march happening this Saturday.
With officers dropping like flies, Detective Inspector Logan McRae has to kick off a major murder investigation with a skeleton staff of misfits, idiots and malingerers until the top brass can arrange back-up from other divisions.
But, as bad as everything seems, things are about to get much, much worse . . .
