Aided by his new partner Felisa Tortolano, Detective Lamont's job is to bring law and order to Scotland's most dangerous areas. Working as part of the Scottish Police Service Authority, a police branch established to bring a guiding hand and a sense of cohesion to Scotland's eight disparate and fractured headquarters, Lamont and his team are no strangers to taking on the jobs that local policing can't handle. Going wherever he's needed, Lamont uses his expertise to help out the stations across the regions whenever they need help, but in doing so he's made more than his fair share of enemies. After getting through by the skin of his teeth after the explosive events of The Factor, Lamont is forced to get back in the saddle in order to continue his work with the SPSA. However, with the tragic death of his wife still fresh, Lamont is in no shape to tackle getting up in the morning let alone the biggest case of his career. Struggling with a blindsiding death wish as he attempts to piece back together his former self, the once assured cop has the opportunity to put the demons he's been chasing to rest once and for all, but is he stable enough to get the job done? The final book in the exhilarating Detective Lamont trilogy, Kirkapol acts as the explosive culmination of an epic crime saga. With Lamont lower than we've ever seen him before, it's clear that the crime-ridden streets of Scotland are going to get far worse before they get better.
