En medio de las crecientes pasiones políticas, el inspector John Rebus es asignado como enlace, ya que el nuevo parlamento reside en Queensbury House, justo en medio de su jurisdicción. Pero Queensbury House tiene su propio pasado oscuro. La leyenda cuenta que un joven fue asado allí en un asador por un loco. Cuando se descubre la chimenea donde murió el joven, se encuentra otra víctima de asesinato más reciente. Días después, en los jardines exteriores, aparece un tercer cuerpo. Esta víctima es Roddy Grieve, un posible MSP, y Rebus está bajo presión para encontrar respuestas inmediatas.
