Jayne Padgett is a beloved teacher who’d do anything for her kids.

So how does she end up dead, neatly posed at the kitchen counter in a puddle of her own vomit?

Not only was she strangled, she was forced to drink bleach. And, stranger still, it seems the killer tried to clear up the mess afterwards.

Despite being a favourite with her students, there’s no shortage of suspects:

Teachers with grudges.
Parents who thought she was meddling.
Half-sisters.
An ex-husband.
The on-again-off-again boyfriend.

Detectives Markham and Noakes might just have a serial killer on their hands.

THE DETECTIVES
DI GILBERT (“GIL”) MARKHAM
DI Markham is a startlingly talented detective rising through the ranks of Bromgrove CID.

He clashes with his slippery boss, DCI Sidney, who prioritizes the force’s public image.

DS GEORGE (“NOAKESY”) NOAKES
DS Noakes is a slobbish, uncouth and outspoken Yorkshireman, an object of despair to his superiors. He is, however, also a man of hidden depths, with a sensitive streak and a secret flair for ballroom dancing. Markham sees through his philistinism and they form an unstoppable partnership.

A bitterly cold February in Glasgow. In the attic of a deserted tenement, the body of a man is found hanging, his face disfigured beyond recognition.

Around his neck is a sign that reads: I Am Stephen Whyte.

Investigating officers DI Anderson and DS Costello believe the dead man was the prime suspect in a decade-old unsolved case.

Ten years ago, a young woman was brutally attacked and left for dead. Now the man found hanging has the exact same horrific injuries.

There are other similar cases on file.

But the dead man didn’t act alone, he had an accomplice — who is still on the loose . . .

“Ramsay writes with verve and abandon and has been very healthily splashed with storytelling stardust.” materialwitness.typepad.com

THE DETECTIVES
DI Colin Anderson: A well-qualified graduate with true Scottish grit. He’s calm, efficient and focused — despite his marriage falling apart, and the fact that he’s just a tiny bit in love with the boss’s wife.

DS Winifred “Freddie” Costello: Pithy, sometimes crabbit (as they say in Glasgow), Costello is incredibly capable, but not above pushing boundaries when needed. She’s a well-respected officer who always puts police work first. She’s had a crush on DCI McAlpine for many years now, but that doesn’t stop her getting the job done.

THE SETTING
Drizzly, grey Glasgow and its seedy backstreets along with up-and-coming new estates is the setting for this gritty series. The realities of poverty and crime are laid bare — with the underfunded police department trying to keep the damn from breaking.
