The Granite Citys seedy side is about to be exposed

A serial rapist is leaving a string of tortured women behind him, but while DS Logan McRaes girlfriend, PC Jackie Ball Breaker Watson, is out acting as bait, hes trying to identify a blood-drenched body dumped outside Accident and Emergency.

Logans investigations suggest someone in the local bondage community has developed a taste for violent death, and he soon finds himself dragged into the twilight world of pornographers, sex-shops and S&M.

Meanwhile, the prime suspect in the rape case turns out to be Aberdeen Football Clubs star striker. Logan thinks theyve got it horribly wrong, but Jackie is convinced the footballers guilty and shes hell-bent on a conviction at any cost
