Edinburgh, 1948. For Welfare Officer Helen Crowther, life is already a delicate balancing act—juggling her demanding job, a complicated love life, and the mounting reputation of being a troublemaker. After the scandal of the previous year, the disapproval she faces as a woman in her line of work only intensifies.
Helen is determined to focus on what she loves most: assisting the struggling residents of Fountainbridge. The last thing she needs is another murder case to throw her life into turmoil.
But when a well-dressed man, clearly out of place in working-class Edinburgh, is found dead right in front of her, and she uncovers a risky lie from her own father, Helen is pulled back into a dark world. A world where class divides are rigid, justice is scarce, and death lurks at every corner.
Having already faced harsh truths about her city, Helen soon discovers that this investigation will reveal just how deep corruption runs in Edinburgh—and how dangerous it can be to uncover the truth.
