D.C.I Patrick Curzon is the 'Dirty Rouge'.

A thief, a blackmailer, a ruthless politician, this tough, misanthropic Scotsman is one of the vilest cops to have ever graced the page. That said, he's also one of the most dedicated.

While investigating the death of a young 'schemie', Curzon paces the streets of his beloved Glasgow, conversing with junkies, small time coke dealers, a millionairess and even a premier league footballer. The case also brings him back into conflict with his sworn enemy, Fergus Baxter, a highly vaunted though particularly sleazy defence lawyer who acts on behalf of the city's most lucrative violent psychopaths and any celebrities who happen to fall through the cracks into criminality.

As the truth unravels, Curzon finds himself caught between the interests of justice and those of the local establishment, leaving him with a major dilemma.
