London had Sherlock Holmes. The dark alleys of Edinburgh had Inspector McLevy.

New Year celebrations are underway in Edinburgh and the Hogmanay crowd are baying for blood at an illegal boxing match at the Foul Anchor tavern.

When ruthless moneylender Donny Lapsley is found murdered after the fight, suspicions immediately turn to boxer Rab Donnachie, whose unconscious body is found next to the victim. But Inspector McLevy is not convinced...
