DC Cameron Stone spent three months in intensive care before he could even recall the high-speed pursuit and accidentnbsp;that had not only almost finished him, but also had killed a teenage mother and her child.nbsp;After the message from Audrey that she had left him and taken their young son, Mark, with her, booze, anti-depressants, and therapy all failed to enable him to resume his old job. Now he lives in anbsp;room in the worst part of Glasgow, payingnbsp;rent by running errands for a private detective agency. He's also paid by his former colleagues to donbsp;their dirtynbsp;work'like threateningnbsp;the newly released sex offender who hasnbsp;been hanging around the local high school.nbsp;Stone is having a bad week. Audrey's talking of remarriage, knife-wielding kids try to mug him, and there's anbsp;message on his front door: Burn in Hell Baby Killer. The one brightnbsp;spotnbsp;is his growing friendship with Liz, the sunny Irish nurse on the next floor. But then his apartment is set on fire'and now a stranger has turned up at the school and driven off with his son.
