Synopsis

DI Rebus is buried under a pile of paperwork but an escalating dispute between the upstart Tommy Telford and Big Ger Cafferty''s gang gives Rebus an escape clause.

Telford is known to have close links with a Chechen gangster bringing refugees into Britain as prostitutes. When Rebus takes under his wing a distraught Bosnian call girl, it gives him a personal reason to make sure Telford goes back to Paisley and pronto.

Then Rebus''s daughter is the victim of an all too professional hit-and-run and Rebus knows that there is now nothing he won''t do to bring down prime suspect Tommy Telford - even if it means cutting a deal with the devil.
