First edition. Signed by the author. Fine in dust jacket. It's been 25 years since Alfred Chalmers was convicted of the gruesome murder of four young women in Edinburgh. Isobel McArthur, Scotland's first Chief Superintendent, was the woman responsible for putting him behind bars, but the case has haunted her ever since. With her retirement approaching, McArthur decides the time has come for answers. To uncover the truth, she revisits the case and interviews Chalmers for the first time in decades. Her decision rips open old wounds and McArthur is quickly caught up in a web of corruption, psychological mind-games and deceit that threatens not only her own life, but those of her fellow officers.
