In the starkly lit operating theatres of the city, grisly experiments are being carried out on corpses in the name of medical science.

Charged with investigating the murder is Adam Quire, Officer of the Edinburgh police. The trail will lead him into the deepest reaches of the criminal underclass and to the highest echelons of the filthy rich.
