'Few can rival Turnbull for dire authenticity' Observer When a man is found in Glasgow's prosperous West End district, his face blown off by a point-blank-range shooting, the P Division detectives quickly establish the identity of the Man with No Face. Establishing an identity, though, is easier than penetrating the mystery surrounding this killing -- a mystery that deepens at every turn. Why should a petty crook from the East End of the city make straight for the West End on his release from prison? And then there is his prison sentence: a conviction for arson and robbery at Cernach's antique shop -- a crime totally out of character for him. Even more confusing is the fact that the proprietor of the ruined shop should have visited the dead man in prison. But more sinister still is the link to the kidnapping and disappearance of an Edinburgh heiress several years before. Amid all the murkiness, the only thing that seems clear is that Glasgow's P Division have become involved in one of the most complex cases they've ever come up against...and the most dangerous.
