In Her first case in charge, DI Fiona Munro
lands a suspicious death aboard the old windjammer, Jade Dragon, Set ablaze
in Glasgow's dockland during its restoration as a museum. The ensuing
murder investigation turns-up old flame, Angus Buerk, as a possible suspect.
Buerk's attempts to assist further complicate
Munro's life as does Museum supremo, Vera Goodnight, pursuing her own sexually-charged
agenda. Overshadowing the whole investigation is a deteriorating
relationship with her new DCI, himself with a troubled past. There
is no shortage of dragons to be slain as a deranged killer ruthlessly goes
about his work.
