A man that DI Anthony McLean had put away some time ago has been killed
in jail. His style of murdering was particularly gruesome. However,
shortly after his death a new victim appears in what could be a copycat
killing. Or is it?
After a gruelling day at work, McLean comes home to find his apartment
block on fire. He attempts to save the elderly gentleman who lives
across the hall from him. Unfortunately the old man dies as do several
others in the building. McLean is put on leave as much for the
inhalation of smoke as well as his connection to the aforementioned
murder. However, that leave is short lived when a second victim
appears, killed in the same manner as the earlier one.
When a third victim is found, the Deputy Chief Constable interferes and
puts Superintendent McIntyre in charge of the investigation and gives
one of the cases to McLean's nemesis, DCI Duguid. None of the three are
impressed with the assignments. Will the new teams be able to catch
the killer before he kills again? Author James Oswald creates an
extremely exciting climax to this murder mystery. A very good read that
is hard to put down.
