Description
‘All the makings of a classic series.’ – Mick Herron ———- St Andrews, Scotland: When a woman’s eviscerated body is found on the golf course close to the Fairmont Hotel, DCI Andy Gilchrist and his associate DS Jessie Janes are assigned the investigation. But the post-mortem examination uncovers a shocking detail that must be kept from the public… Who could carry out such a brutal murder? And what is the significance of the gruesome trophy? When DNA uncovers links to a murder committed thirty years earlier, Gilchrist fears a killer of old has resurfaced, or worse, a debut serial killer setting out to learn his murderous trade. The hunt for the killer forces Gilchrist down a dangerous path that puts his and Jessie’s lives in danger, and ultimately leads them to a mind-playing madman who would rather kill again than go to prison. As Gilchrist homes in on the murderer, he finds himself relentlessly drawn into the killer’s mind games and a desperate fight for his life, in which there can only be one winner. Has Gilchrist finally met his match? ———- Readers love the DCI Andy Gilchrist series! ‘DCI Andy Gilchrist is a real copper, flaws an’ all… I read it one sitting’ – Amazon reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Thrilling… first page, a suspicious death, and we’re off!’ – Amazon reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Fascinating storylines… police procedural at its best’ – Amazon reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Rebus did it for Edinburgh. Laidlaw did it for Glasgow. Gilchrist might just be the bloke to put St Andrews on the crime fiction map.’ – Daily Record ‘Gripping and grisly, with plenty of twists and turns that race along with black humour.’ – Craig Robertson ‘DCI Gilchrist gets under your skin. Though, determined, and a bit vulnerable, this character will stay with you long after the last page.’ – Anna Smith
