Independent Edinburgh - a tourist's paradise, a citizens's paradox. It's 2026. The birth-rate is down in the Council's "perfect city" and gangs of disaffected kids roam the streets. A break-in at the former Scottish Parliament archive is rapidly followed by two gruesome murders, the victims mutilated and covered with blood-drenched branches.
Under the watchful eyes of the guardians, renegade investigator Quintilian Dalrymple is called in to establish a pattern and to stop the roots of violence spreading. But Quint's investigation is driven in a different direction when Edinburgh's brightest teenagers are abducted to the much-feared democratic city-state of Glasgow.
What Quint finds there will change his life forever . . .
