A burglary and murder at the home of Sir Thomas Bouch, the enigmatic architect of the ill-fated Tay Bridge, sets Inspector James McLevy off on a train of brutal killings, lethal liaisons, and double suicide which leads to a violent encounter with an old enemy, Hercules Dunbar.
Caught up in a terrifying storm as he tracks his foe to Dundee, McLevy watches the rail bridge collapse and plunge into the icy depths of the Tay. The aftermath brings the destruction of reputation and love as the inspector uncovers the secret passions which have led to murder.

Critics Review
-
PRAISE FOR THE INSPECTOR McLEVY SERIES
Financial Times
Mclevy is a sort of Victorian Morse with a heart, prowling the mean wynds and tenements of the endlessly fascinating city. David Ashton impeccably evokes Edinburgh so vividly that you feel the cold in your bones and the menace of the Old Town’s steep cobbles and dark corners -
An intriguing Victorian story… elegant and convincing
The Times -
McLevy is one of the greatest psychological creations and Ashton the direct heir to Robert Louis Stevenson
Brian Cox, CBE - Award-winning actor -
David Ashton’s writing is excellent, his characters thoroughly convincing and his narrative grabs you
The Sherlock Holmes Society -
Ashton’s McLevy is a man obsessed with meting out justice and with demons of his own
Scotsman -
A real page-turner
