The killer had friends and enemies to spare - ranging from civic leaders to the local Goths - leaving behind a legacy of secrets and lies...FLESHMARKET CLOSEAn illegal immigrant is found murdered in an Edinburgh housing scheme: a racist attack, or something else entirely?

The scene begins to look like an elaborate stunt - but whose, and for what purpose?
