Last Orders for the Condemned

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

DCI Jim Daley returns in the gripping thriller from the bestselling author Denzil Meyrick.


In Kinloch, Hamish is having bad dreams - so bad, he won’t leave the house. In the middle of the night, Brian Scott hears his phone buzz on the nightstand. It’s a message from Jim Daley, his old friend, which chills him to the bone.

‘She’s dead, Brian. I couldn’t take it anymore – I killed her! You have to help.’

When the body of a woman is discovered, Daley is arrested for murder. Scott believes he’s innocent, so who is trying to frame him? The search for answers will lead Jim and Brian on a dark journey into their past, putting them – and the people closest to them – in immediate danger.
