Murder and mystery are peppered with sexual content and earthy humour in this fast-paced crime thriller set amidst the coastal villages of Fife.
The brutal murder of a boatyard owner in a small fishing village sees DS Mark McManus transferred to the Major Investigation Team from his local CID unit.
His attraction to older married women was always going to get him into trouble sometime; probably sooner rather than later when he finds his new boss will be the husband of one of his lovers.
McManus is teamed up with a local officer who knew the victim, a drunken wife-beater and a pervert who preyed on young women. But she carries her own burdens which endangers the investigation.
It seems everyone has something to hide, and McManus soon uncovers sexual connections between the witnesses, the victim, and members of his own team. Then there is another murder...........
