An ex-SAS captain must investigate the connection between a serial killer, a Hollywood actor, and mysterious book in this action-packed crime thriller.
When a stranger gives Adam Black a book, telling him the book holds the key to the mystery surrounding his wife’s murder, Black dismisses the event as nothing more than the ramblings of a mad man.
Then Black is called to a meeting with a Hollywood movie star, Victor Cromwell, who is shooting a new film in Glasgow. Cromwell makes a very strange request that will throw Black’s life into turmoil.
Meanwhile a killer, who was dormant for twenty years, has returned and is murdering young women in the most gruesome way. As Black investigates, he starts to suspect the three events are linked and sets out to uncover the truth. But the truth often lies in the darkest places . .
