When a neighbor runs out to apprehend the thief, he is stabbed to death. A random killing, or so private eye Jack Scott believes before he interviews the dead man's widow. Further investigation links the Mercedes to a Toxteth carjacking and suddenly Scott is presented with a number of questions. Why would a man have a luxury car stolen to order and then disappear?

Twelve months earlier, Gerry Gault had killed a girl during his knife-throwing performance in a sleazy Liverpool nightclub and then disappeared that same night with his assistant Danny Dean. Scott's investigating uncovers a simmering paternity feud stretching back eighteen years and a cryptic note with echoes of an old BBC theme tune. And so he is led to a retirement home where a Sixties gangster resides. As the web becomes more tangled, Jack Scott knows that solving both cases will be exhausting and fraught with danger. It takes a brush with death, more corpses and a truly horrifying discovery before Scott can finally unravel a baffling confusion of murders.
