It was supposed to be an easy job.
All Detective Constable Edward Reekie had to do was pick up a dying prisoner from HMP Grampian and deliver him somewhere to live out his last few months in peace.
From the outside,Glenfarach looks like a quaint,sleepy,snow-dusted village,nestled deep in the heart of Cairngorms National Park,but things aren't what they seem. The place is thick with security cameras and there's a strict nine o'clock curfew,because Glenfarach is the final sanctuary for people who've served their sentences but can't be safely released into the general population.
Edward's new boss,DI Victoria Montgomery-Porter,insists they head back to Aberdeen before the approaching blizzards shut everything down,but when an ex-cop-turned-gangster is discovered tortured to death in his bungalow,someone needs to take charge.
The weather's closing in,tensions are mounting,and time's running out - something nasty has come to Glenfarach,and Edward is standing right in its way...
