Description
Festival season. The streets are filled to bursting with tourists, and Edinburgh is gripped by a stifling heatwave. Not the best time for one of the most violent murders the city has witnessed in years.
''Do yourself a favour and read James Oswald''s series. I can almost guarantee you won''t stop at one'' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ READER REVIEW
The victim of the murder cannot be identified; its brutal nature of the shocking both the public and the police. What could possibly have inflicted such gruesome injuries? Was it a wild animal on the loose, or the beginning of some horrific gang warfare?
Another body is found on Musselburgh Beach: naked, comatose, but this time still alive. DI Tony McLean can''t shake the feeling that there is a connection to the killing - but there are few leads for him and the team to go by.
The police are at a loss, and the city is on edge - will the killer strike again?
