Mark Webster is the devoted friend of Danny Kimber, a blind musician yet also a police informant. But on a wild spring evening, when Danny’s body is found in the river Nith, there is judged to be no evidence of foul play. Mark thinks otherwise. But can he prove it?
Then a young girl Poppy is found in the river. Could these two deaths be linked?
As Mark tries to understand what is happening in modern Dumfries, he falls under the charms of Chief Superintendent Carla Speirs. An international development in the case emerges after the Police face the anger of the local community.
In this modern romantic novel set in the beauty of south west Scotland, fraternal devotion turns to an unexpected romance as the mystery of Danny Kimber’s death comes to light
This controversial novel is set in 2008 and in 2019 in Scotland at Dumfries where the river Nith flows through on its way to the Solway. It is a romantic novel with erotic content but it is also set in a modern Scotland whose Government has introduced the Restricted Hadd Offences Act into the country. Repeat offenders are given five strokes of the cane. But there is tension between the Islamic population and the right wing Defenders of the Saltire. Inevitably they clash. However it is chilling to discover who really ordered Danny to be killed. He was a popular blind musician and police informant.
