The body of a young teenage hooker is found washed up on the beach near Glasgow This stark event barely captures a headline inthe cynical world of tabloid newspapers This is Glasgow in the 1990s and she''s just another dead heroin addict But Tracey Eadie was onlyfourteen years old and came from a children''s home in Glasgow...

Steeped in its own problems, Glasgow''s mushrooming underclass is simmering with resentment; and one by one, refugees are disappearing. The authorities assume the refugees have vanished into the black economy, until the mutilated body of an Albanian man is fished out of the River Clyde. Asylum seekers and refugees with no roots and no families are easy pickings. But why is there no urgency from the authorities to find out what''s happening? Rosie Gilmour''s instincts tell her there''s more to this story, but after six weeks on the frontlines in Kosovo, is her sympathy for the refugees clouding her judgement? Rosie must decide what is most important to her. Her work, or her life?

In the tiny village of Westerbank in the south west of Scotland, the 1960s are not about rocknroll and drugs; theyre about survival, making a bare living out of a struggling farm or working for a pittance at whatever job comes along. Nonetheless in this close community friendships go deep and the pub of an evening is a cheery place, at least until too much drink is taken. Fifteen years ago, Joe McBride left Westerbank under a cloud, and in his absence life has moved on, the secrets he took with him disturbing only occasionally those who were caught up in them. But now Joe McBride is coming home, a changed man, and one who needs to face up to the past before its too late. The truth about the mysterious death of a young girl fifteen years ago is about to come out, and nothing in Westerbank will ever be quite the same again.
