The siren song of an unsolved murder case beckons an ex-cop back into detective work--this time on his own, and with life-threatening consequences…
 
Michael McLaren tries to convince himself that he is perfectly happy repairing dry stonewalls in Derbyshire, a make-do career after resigning his job in an eddy of anger, disgust and an overwhelming sense of injustice.
