For DSI William Lorimer, however, this New Year''s Eve will be one that he will never forget. Called to a house after gunshots are reported, the carnage he finds there will have a powerful impact on his life - leaving him questioning his future with Police Scotland.

Meanwhile, the man who eluded police capture during Lorimer''s last investigation - the Quiet Release case involving the euthanasia of vulnerable patients - is back, and this time he''s aligned with a powerful gangster from Glasgow''s underworld.
