Glasgow, 1931. After a devastating crime, Dr Jack Cuthbert finds himself working at the intersection between rising British fascism, anti-Semitism and the infamous Glasgow razor gangs.

The dead all have stories to tell.

Glasgow, 1931.

Visiting from London, Dr Jack Cuthbert unexpectedly finds himself at the centre of a horrifying crime. As an experienced pathologist, the local police call upon him to lead the forensic investigation and identify the victims of a bombing in the city. But this is no ordinary crime scene.

Cuthbert must navigate a political as well as a pathological minefield, with British fascists and the city’s notorious razor gangs in the frame. To solve the case, Cuthbert needs to gather all the expertise he can from those around him. But, out of his usual surroundings and working with strangers, who can he trust?
