In the dead of night, an old woman disturbs an intruder and is killed in her home in the Govan area of Glasgow. Her killer is a terrified youth being exploited by an unscrupulous and malevolent woman.
As the police inquiry commences, a teenage gang, some of whose members are out of control, find easy pickings among the local pensioners.
While the frightened residents of a previously respectable council housing estate lock their doors against what seems to be an outbreak of violence against the elderly, their community council chairperson Ken Moore enlists the aid of local beat cop Aileen McConnell to assure the public that the police will handle the situation.
But then a second death occurs.
Is there a connection between these incidents?
Once again, the author provides the reader with an insight into a troubled community, whose residents come to realise that in the darkness, nobody really feels safe.
