Bred in the Bone

Glasgow Detective Superintendent Catherine McLeod has one gangster in the mortuary and another, Glen Fallan, behind bars for allegedly taking him out. But fighting for conviction isn't going to be easy. This case may be more personal for McLeod than she's letting on. And Fallan might not even be guilty.

Private investigator Jasmine Sharp has a stake in Fallan's future, too. The gangland enforcer once moved in the same dangerous shadows that her mysterious father lived and died in. And the strange bond Fallan had with her mother is something no one in Sharp's family ever dares to discuss.

As McLeod battles her demons and Sharp chases her ghosts, these two very different detectives will ultimately confront the secrets that have entangled both of their fates—by descending into the Glasgow underworld where vengeance spans generations and everyone has a score to settle.
