Private Investigator Gus Keane is enjoying the quiet life when two events transpire to disrupt the peace. A man turns up on his doorstep claiming to be his half-brother, and a body is found in a local Salford street.
Suddenly having to question his family history, Keane arranges a DNA test pretty damn quick. Not least because his new-found brother seems very much involved in the criminal fraternity.
Meanwhile, through an acquaintance, Keane gets involved in the case of the dead man. Helping the police establish his identity, he draws a blank when it comes to the motive for the killing.
Despite his in-depth local knowledge, Keane feels increasingly out of his depth, worried that he’s lost his touch...
