A SHOCKING CRIME. A MAVERICK DETECTIVE.

A FINAL CHANCE TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH.

Ray Lennox is determined to escape his darkest days. The former inspector has left Edinburgh for a fresh start in Brighton. Soon, his fixations and addictions have been replaced with quiet evenings and a rigorous fitness regime.
