Glasgow in the 1950s - not somewhere you'd choose to be unless you were born to it. Yet Lennox, a private investigator balanced between the law and those who break it, finds it oddly congenial. Glasgow bookie and greyhound breeder, Jimmy 'Small Change' MacFarlane, runs one of the biggest operations at Glasgow's dog-racing track. When MacFarlane is bludgeoned to death, Lennox has a solid gold alibi - he had spent the night with MacFarlane's daughter. Quickly drawn into hunting MacFarlane's killer, he soon discovers that 'Small Change' was into a lot more than dog racing. Worse, crime boss Willie Sneddon, one of Glasgow's notorious Three Kings, is clearly involved and he's not a man Lennox wants to cross. But somewhere out there in the shadows lurks a bigger player, an elusive villain who makes the Three Kings look like minnows. Lennox is the only man who can track him down.
