The murdered body of a girl, found in the boot of a wrecked car, is DCI Thane's starting point.
At first, the killing seems the work of a sadistic prowler, but a dangerous trail of evidence leads to other possibilities, ranging from the rally-driver boss of a whisky investment firm to an elderly, iron-willed woman - and even to a young novice cop who claims to have found the girl's body accidentally.
Following the truth leads to a terrifying car race through a mountainside forest - a race Thane and Moss have to win, because if they lose, the killer will strike again...

'His plotting is impeccable...and he can build his books to a relentless climax' - New York Times Book Review

Bill Knox began writing as a young Glasgow journalist, crime reporter, motoring correspondent and news editor and went on to write some 70 novels by the time of his death in 1999.
The murdered body of a girl, found in the boot of a wrecked car, is Detective Chief Inspector Thane's starting point. At first, the killing seems the work of a sadistic opportunist and indeed there was a prowler in the area that night. But a confusing trail of evidence leads to other possibilities ranging from the rally-driving boss of a whisky investment firm to an elderly woman of iron will - or possibly even to the young cop who claims to have found the girl's body accidentally.
Following the truth leads to a nightmare car chase though a mountainside forest - a race Thane and Moss have to win, because the killer is already out to strike again.
