In Questions for a Dead Man, DSI William Lorimer returns to tackle a perplexing case involving a missing politician. When Robert Truesdale, a prominent Member of the Scottish Parliament, vanishes while leading a contentious campaign to legalize drugs, Lorimer springs into action. As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that Truesdale had many enemies, and the clock is ticking against the chances of finding him alive. The tension escalates when a car bomb detonates in a nearby village, and the charred body discovered in the wreckage is believed to be Truesdale's, but inconsistencies in the evidence raise troubling questions.

As Lorimer delves deeper into the mystery, he partners with PC Daniel Kohi, who has been embedded within a local gang as part of a police initiative. Together, they navigate the treacherous landscape of Glasgow's criminal underworld, where danger lurks at every corner and identities are often masked.
