The Englishman wants Allan to trace a young woman called Tina Lamont. Trouble is that Tina Lamont might not be her real name and she might not even be from Dundee. The only clue is a photograph of a young woman wearing a school uniform. As Allan and Niddrie, his only Associate - ex-army and with a range of skills very different to his claim of being in the Pay Corps - get the investigation underway, there seems to be no trace of the girl anywhere. But when a dead body turns up, Allan realises he isn't the only one trying to find Tina. As events spiral out of control, the news that the girl is also being hunted by some serious London criminals takes events to a whole new and disturbing level - and that's before Dundee's biggest drugs dealer gets involved. And to complicate matters there's Allan's high-flying lawyer ex-wife to deal with and his teenage daughter, Ailsa, who's being harassed by the captain of the school rugby team."--Provided by publisher.
