River Clyde
What you need to know before your trail
Mired in grief after tragic recent events, state prosecutor Chastity Riley escapes to Scotland, lured to the birthplace of her great-great-grandfather by a mysterious letter suggesting she has inherited a house.
In Glasgow, she meets Tom, the ex-lover of Chastity’s great aunt, who holds the keys to her own family secrets – painful stories of unexpected cruelty and loss that she’s never dared to confront.
In Hamburg, Stepanovic and Calabretta investigate a major arson attack, while a group of property investors kicks off an explosion of violence that threatens everyone.
As events in these two countries collide, Chastity prepares to face the inevitable, battling the ghosts of her past and the lost souls that could be her future and, perhaps, finally finding redemption for them all.

Travel Guide
River Clyde – From Glasgow to Hamburg
The novel spans two cities. The main setting is Glasgow and the River Clyde which flows through the city is the title of the novel and the centre around which everything happens.
Glasgow is awash with windy and wet weather here and it’s a raw and graphic backdrop to the novel’s gripping storylines. Hamburg and Glasgow are poles apart but very close in many ways and it’s interesting to see such cities side by side as here.
The River Clyde is the ninth-longest river in the United Kingdom, and the third-longest in Scotland
