Colin Thane of the Scottish Crime Squad is sent to the Scottish Highlands after an arson attack at Broch Distillery has left three men dead and eight million pounds worth of stock destroyed. Finn Rankin, who runs the distillery, is at first unhelpful, then events take a turn for the worse. Thane must head back to Glasgow and its underworld.

Detective Inspector Colin Thane, of the Scottish Crime Squad, is called in to investigate Glasgow's most recent and costly crime wave. Someone with impeccable taste is discreetly stealing antiques from some very fashionable addresses. Thane's job: replace the irreplaceable - and fast.

The suspicious death of a second-hand car dealer in Glasgow seems a fairly routine case for Thane and Moss but, with the arrival of football fans for a big game, they struggle to make sense of the evidence and to find the link with a major art theft.

When a woman’s body is fished out of the Clyde it is clear she has been murdered. Thane and Moss waste no time in ascertaining that she came from Monkswalk, an affluent suburb of Glasgow, and more surprisingly, that she was the neighbourhood witch.
