It's April 2028. Gangs roam the streets of independent Edinburgh, forcing the ruling Council of City Guardians to seek advice. Experts from the university-state of New Oxford recommend an extreme deterrent - a maximum security prison - but at its opening ceremony, an Edinburgh guardian is shot.

Paul Johnston has written four previous highly-acclaimed crime novels, the first of which, BODY POLITIC, won the CWA John Creasey Memorial Dagger. He divides his time between a small Greek island and Scotland where he was born and grew up. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
