The summer of 1908 is proving to be a busy time for Inspector Jake Fraser of the Aberdeen City Police.
An Aberdeen Grammar School teacher has been murdered, apparently a victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
A police colleague commits suicide, leaving behind a case in which Jake now believes the wrong man was sent to the gallows.
The Suffragette movement begins to show its first, tentative steps towards taking violent action in support of their argument.
And, as if that were not enough, the Buchan Heiress arrives intent on persuading unsuspecting Aberdonians to part company with their money for reasons that are anything but legal.
Yes, busy times indeed.
Now Inspector Fraser and his assistant, Sergeant Mathieson, must put every effort in to ensuring that each investigation Is brought to a satisfactory conclusion as quickly as possible.
