Our summary description
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
Edinburgh, 1948. Welfare Officer Helen Crowther has more than enough to contend with: a hectic job, a complicated love life, and a growing reputation as a troublemaker. Last year’s scandal has only sharpened the disapproval she faces as a woman doing work people would rather not look at.
All Helen wants is to focus on Fountainbridge, helping the poor of her ward and getting on with the job she cares about. Then a man dressed in working man’s clothing turns up dead right under her nose, and she catches her own father in a lie risky enough to change how she sees him.
Pulled back into a city where class rules and justice is hard to come by, Helen finds herself forced into an investigation she did not ask for. The deaths are gruesome, the answers slippery, and what begins as one body becomes a way into something wider. Helen has learned hard truths about Edinburgh before, but this time she is about to find out how deep the corruption goes.
