Book description
The Number One bestselling crime series from the award-winning Stuart
MacBride. In this sixth DS Logan McRae thriller, Scotland's finest see
first-hand how starting again can be murder…
Everyone deserves a second chance.
Richard Knox has served his time, so why shouldn't he be allowed to
live wherever he wants? Yes, in the past he was a violent rapist, but
he's seen the error of his ways. Found God. Wants to leave his dark past
in Newcastle behind him and make a new start. Or so he says.
Detective Sergeant Logan McRae isn't exactly thrilled to be part of the
team helping Knox settle into his new Aberdeen home. He's even less
thrilled to be stuck with DSI Danby from Northumbria Police - the man
who put Knox behind bars for ten years - supposedly here to 'keep an eye
on things'.
Only things are about to go very, very wrong.
Edinburgh gangster Malk the Knife wants a slice of the development boom
Donald Trump's golf course is bringing to the Granite City, whether
local crime lord Wee Hamish Mowat likes it or not. Three heavies from
Newcastle want a 'quiet word' with DSI Danby about a missing mob
accountant. And Richard Knox's dark past isn't done with him yet…
