A break-in at the former Scottish Parliament archive is rapidly followed by two gruesome murders, the victims mutilated and covered with blood-drenched branches. Under the watchful eyes of the guardians, renegade investigator Quintilian Dalrymple is called in to establish a pattern and to stop the roots of violence spreading. But Quint’s investigation is driven in a different direction when Edinburgh’s brightest teenagers are abduced to the much-feared democratic city-state of Glagow. What Quint finds there will change his life forever…” IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH
