The Worst of Evils
Finding her is only the beginning…
Keir Harper finds people. He knows how they think and he knows where they run to.
So when Janet Bell goes into hiding to escape her violent ex-boyfriend, her father hires Harper to track her down before her ex does.
It looks like an easy payday, but Harper’s hunt for the missing girl uncovers a terrifying secret that has been stalking the streets of Glasgow for months. A secret even the police have kept hidden. A secret that awakens painful memories of another missing girl: one who never made it home.
Harper soon discovers that finding Janet is only the beginning of a journey into the very depths of evil.
As he gets closer to the truth Harper finds himself trapped between warring criminal gangs, a cold-blooded hitman waiting for him to step out of line, and a police officer determined to put him behind bars at any cost.
But someone else is watching Harper too. Someone far worse…
