Bus driver Dave Kellock is a pillar of the community in Portobello, Edinburgh. But he's got a terrible secret.

His past is dragged into the present when an unexpected passenger steps onto his bus: the woman he killed almost twenty years earlier. Dave's still reeling from the shock of it when police turn up at his door, accusing him of an entirely different crime.

As he battles to track down a dead woman and maintain his hard-won reputation, Dave makes a terrifying realisation.

Wherever he goes, someone is watching.

A pacy, twisting thriller about revenge and betrayal, set amongst the historic streets of Edinburgh. Perfect for fans of B.A. Paris and C.L. Taylor.
