The death of a young Pakistani bride in Glasgow gets Rosie Gilmour’s antennae twitching. She is sure this tragic accident was anything but – but she is not prepared for where her investigation will take her…
Rosie has her hands full navigating the sensitivities of this case – the girl’s grieving family and the tensions between the white and Pakistani communities in the city – when she is contacted by two prostitutes in serious trouble. One of their clients has died on the job, and they’ve gone on the run – with his briefcase. The briefcase contains dozens of rough diamonds, and now some thoroughly brutal people are on their trail.
On the surface this has nothing to do with the death of the young girl. But Rosie has spent years looking beneath Glasgow’s surface into its murky depths, and if anyone can discover the connection between one girl’s forced marriage and a ring of diamond smugglers, it’s her.
