En un degradado barrio proletario de Edimburgo aparece asesinado un sin papeles. ¿Podría tratarse de violencia racista o de algo distinto? Sin dudarlo, Rebus se vuelca en el caso. Sin embargo, el inspector se enfrenta en esos momentos a otros problemas: han cerrado su antigua comisaría y sus jefes quieres que se retire, pero Rebus es más obstinado que nadie.

En 1978 una joven llamada Maria Turquand fue asesinada en una habitación de hotel. Se investigó a los sospechosos, pero el culpable nunca apareció. John Rebus siempre tuvo la sensación de que algún detalle importante se le escapaba a la policía. Ahora ha decidido recuperar el caso y parece que eso aún puede acarrear imprevisibles consecuencias. No es lo único que le preocupa al exinspector Rebus. Darryl Christie, aspirante a controlar las actividades delictivas en Edimburgo, ha recibido una paliza que lo ha dejado fuera de combate.

Las obsesiones pueden acelerar tu caída. Al inspector John Rebus le gustaría solucionarlo todo, pero para eso debe adentrarse en la oscuridad. En apenas unos días, se tiene que enfrentar a un pederasta reincidente, al inexplicable suicidio de un colega, a la enigmática desaparición del hijo de unos amigos y, sobre todo, a un peligroso psicópata deportado a Edimburgo por las autoridades estadounidenses.
