Summary
*A RICHARD AND JUDY BOOKCLUB PICK*
The gripping new thriller from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of the Logan McRae series.
THE CLOCK IS TICKING...
Detective Constable Angus MacVicar has just landed his dream job – transferred out of uniform and assigned to Oldcastle’s biggest ongoing murder investigation: Operation Telegram, hunting the 'Fortnight Killer'.
Every two weeks another couple is targeted. One victim is left at the scene, their corpse used as a twisted message board. The second body is never seen again.
This should be the perfect chance for Angus to prove himself, but he’s been lumbered with the forensic psychologist from hell. It’s been twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and the investigation’s running out of time.
Angus's shiny new job might just be the death of him…
Praise For Stuart MacBride:
‘Fast, hard, authentic – and different’ Lee Child
‘A terrific writer’ The Times
‘MacBride is a damned fine writer – no one does dark and gritty like him’ Peter James
‘Dark and gripping. A riveting page-turner’ Independent on Sunday
‘Unmissable … superb storytelling’ Sun
Stuart McBride, Number 1 Sunday Times bestseller, November 2023

Reviews
'Written with Macbride’s customary black humour, it is a dark, richly satisfying story that proves just how good a crime writer he is.'
