Advokaten Bobby Carter, hvis klienter ikke var Guds bedste børn, er død, og der er ikke tale om en ulykke.I mellemtiden er Laidlaws rygte løbet ham i forkøbet; han er ikke ligefrem en holdspiller, og situationen er sprængfarlig. Der er krig mellem to af Glasgows værste bander, men er advokatens mord et resultat af den konflikt?Der er ikke mangel på mistænkte i noget samfundslag, og spørgsmålet er, om Laidlaws sans for, hvad der rører sig på gaden, kan være nøglen til at opklare mordet i tide. Laidlaws jagt på sandheden rummer øjeblikke af klarhed, men alle ved, at mørket lurer!Det ufærdige, håndskrevne manuskript til denne bog har samlet støv siden McIlvanneys død i 1995, men heldigvis blev det taget op, af Skotlands måske største nulevende krimiforfatter – og McIlvanney-fan – Ian Rankin, som er bedst kendt for sine krimier om John Rebus.“Ros til William McIlvanney. Han sparkede døren op, så folk som Ian Rankin, Denise Mina og jeg selv kunne snige sig ind bag ham.”Val McDermid“Den rene destillerede essens af skotsk kriminallitteratur.”Peter May“McIlvanney er det originale, skotske forbrydergeni.”Chris Brookmyre“De fleste af os, der skriver kriminallitteratur i dag, står på skuldrene af kæmper. Sådan en kæmpe er McIlvanney.”
Mark Billingham”Ros til Ian Rankin: Ian Rankin er et geni”
Lee Child

I et kondemneringsmodent hus i en Edinburgh-forstad bliver en junkie fundet død med en lille pose heroin på sig. Overdosis - et dødsfald, som normalt knapt nok når at blive til en sag. Tilfældigvis bliver det den nyligt forfremmede vicekriminalkommissær John Rebus, der kommer til at stå for undersøgelsen af gerningsstedet. Og noget er galt. Hvorfor ligger liget i den mærkeligt korsfæstelsesagtige stilling med et par stearinlys ved sin side? Og hvad betyder den sataniske graffiti med den femtakkede stjerne omgivet af to koncentriske cirkler? Rebus har masser af tid, da han af sin chef bliver sat i spidsen for en antinarko-kampagne, sponsoreret af nogle af byens spidser. Et job, han hader og gør alt for at komme udenom. Derfor kaster han hele sin energi ind i opklaringen af junkiens dødsfald, og lidt efter lidt hvirvler snavset op. Rebus kommer til i bogstavelig forstand at stå i lort til op over albuerne, og stanken spreder sig fra byens finere kvarere. Dette er andet bind i serien om John Rebus.
