Plot

Charles Endell's story begins after the events of Budgie, when he receives a ten-year prison sentence. The series opens with his return to Glasgow, having served seven years with three deducted for good behavior. His aim is to rebuild himself in his hometown, following the dismantling of his London business empire by the vice squad. Upon arrival, he meets with his solicitor, Archibald Telfer, to retrieve his emergency cash. Telfer then apparently dies, and the money vanishes, though Charlie suspects the death is a sham.
