A burglary and murder at the home of Sir Thomas Bouch, the enigmatic
architect of the ill-fated Tay Bridge, sets Inspector James McLevy off
on a train of brutal killings, lethal liaisons, and double suicide which
leads to a violent encounter with an old enemy, Hercules Dunbar.
Caught up in a terrifying storm as he tracks his foe to Dundee, McLevy
watches the rail bridge collapse and plunge into the icy depths of the
Tay. The aftermath brings the destruction of reputation and love as the
inspector uncovers the secret passions which have led to murder.
