A Scottish thug needs help clearing his name when he's accused of killing his daughter in this hard-boiled mystery by the author of Two-Way Split. When people in Edinburgh need to borrow money, they go to Cooper. When they don't pay it back, they get a visit from Joe Hope. But now, Joe's got troubles of his own.
