A broken father. A defiant daughter. A city that wants them dead.

Amos Fisher, an ex-Royal Engineer, now a shell of his former self is reunited with his estranged daughter, Mary, for his wife's funeral. Their uneasy truce, however, is shattered when Mary is kidnapped by her crime-lord boyfriend, a man with secrets worth killing for.

Desperate to save her, Amos tears through Glasgow's underworld with the help of an ex-army intelligence officer and a determined cop. He follows a trail of blood and deception only to discover that Mary's phone holds the key to bringing everything crashing down. And her captor will do anything to get it back.
