Stuart MacBride is an ace author at creating a lot of tension in his novels and this one is no exception.
DS Logan McRae is involved in the investigation of a kidnapped mother and child. They had become famous for their singing on a reality show. Now their lives were in jeopardy as the kidnappers threatened to kill them if the ransom wasn't paid within their deadline.
As usual, McRae manages to get sidelined from the main investigation by another investigation. Drugs are involved and after making an arrest others are coming after him and his girlfriend, Samantha, threatening "consequences" if he doesn't return the drugs. McRae has his hands full and when his home is fire-bombed, Sam is injured in a fall attempting to escape the flames.
The tension builds as Mcrae slowly, but efficiently works on the clues unknowingly presented by the kidnappers leading to an explosive finish.
