4 Extra Debut. The Edinburgh cop follows a trail of dead bodies found during construction at the new Scottish Parliament. Starring Ron Donachie. From September 2014.

Ian Rankin's crime thriller centres on the building of the new Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh in 1998. During the construction work a body is discovered in an old fireplace. The forensics suggest the victim was murdered 20 years before. Police are still attempting to identify the corpse when a second body is found on the site - and this time it's one of the prospective candidates for the new parliament. It's a high-profile case and the rising star of Lothian And Borders Police - 28-year-old Detective Inspector Linford - is assigned to investigate, assisted by a reluctant John Rebus.

Dramatised by Chris Dolan.

Other parts are played by the cast.
