His conviction however, was based on indisputable DNA evidence, a perfect match and completely beyond doubt. Steven begins to understand the request for his involvement when it emerges that the prisoner, Dr David Little, was an outstanding medical researcher before the murder and has always maintained his innocence. Combe, confined to the State Mental Hospital in central Scotland, claims to have raped and murdered a young girl in a village outside Edinburgh some years before – a particularly brutal killing for which another man has been convicted and has languished in prison for over nine years. Steven is therefore surprised when he is asked to investigate the deathbed confession of convicted psychopath, Hector Combe.
