A plea for help from Councillor Melanie Biles, the alluring wife of his Chief Constable, leads into the dark byways of local political corruption.

With love and his career at stake, Logan, with the loyal Shelagh at his side, carries on an increasingly violent investigation in the knowledge that a result will ruin those for whom he cares.
