About this listen

A decomposed body washes up on a beach near Glasgow. The victim, Tracy Eadie. Junkie. Prostitute. Fourteen years old.

Rosie Gilmour, tabloid journalist and crusader for justice, receives evidence linking police officials with Tracy's disappearance. Digging deeper, Rosie uncovers a sickening network of corruption and abuse, leading back to the very top of the establishment. And to powerful figures who want their secrets kept hidden.

Rosie has found the story of a lifetime. Yet living to tell it will be her greatest challenge.

Critic reviews

"Strongly plotted, written in plain, punchy language, and very good on the tensions and divided loyalties between the establishment and the fourth estate." ( Guardian)
