The Advocates

When a young Edinburgh lawyer is asked to prepare a case defending an extension of a drug rehabilitation center, he begins investigating the death of a former patient.

Having seen Veitch speaking to a notorious pimp, McDowell is keen to find out just how much Doctor Sangster knows. The firm faces serious financial difficulties.

After the bomb that was meant for him kills Ackroyd instead, McDowell tries to find out what he can, but both the police and Doctor Sangster refuse to tell him anything.
