Detective Constable Oliver Cole is called in from a rare day off work to visit The Caledonian Hotel in Newcastle Upon Tyne where a body of a middle-aged man has been discovered in suspicious circumstances. An Elvis Presley impersonator has been murdered and left naked and tied to his bed with a knife protruding from his chest, and Oliver is set to embark upon his second major case with DCI Jack Collier. The case, however, is not as straightforward as it first appears as Oliver soon discovers that the dead man, David Forest, has been living in hiding for over 15 years from the Glasgow gangster George McNulty. And as details of the victim’s past emerge, the case becomes more and more complex. Forest had been living under an assumed name in order the keep himself and his partner safe from McNulty’s clutches and has kept some incriminating evidence about McNulty as an insurance policy against potential threats. The evidence has been hidden by Forest for safe keeping and he has left a series of clues to be followed by anyone who wishes to discover the truth. Oliver is tasked with solving the clues and finding the hidden evidence whilst DCI Collier searches for the killer. Both men know that the killer is most likely looking for the hidden evidence too and will stop at nothing to ensure that the evidence against McNulty stays hidden forever. Can Oliver solve the clues and get to the evidence before the killer strikes again?
