A murderer is loose in Glasgow and a major police investigation is mounted to find the killer. The enquiry is headed by top detective Jim Taggart, a tough local cop who has risen through the ranks, and Peter Livingstone, one of the new breed of graduate policemen. But, despite their differences, they work together – breaking all the rules to hunt the killer before he strikes again.

The skeletal remains of a dismembered body are discovered beneath the floorboards of a house in Glasgow… The drama takes an unexpected twist when a nine-month-old toddler is kidnapped from a multi-storey car park, followed by a ransom demand of £50,000. Jim Taggart heads the enquiry with Peter Livingstone at his side.
