De: Neil Lancaster

Narrado por: Angus King

This grave can never be opened.
The head of Scotland’s most powerful crime family is brutally murdered, his body dumped inside an ancient grave in a remote cemetery.

This murder can never be forgotten.
Detectives Max Craigie and Janie Calder arrive at the scene, a small town where everyone has secrets to hide. They soon realise this murder is part of a blood feud between two Scottish families that stretches back to the 1800s. One thing’s for certain: it might be the latest killing, but it won’t be the last…

This killer can never be caught.
As the body count rises, the investigation uncovers large-scale corruption at the heart of the Scottish Police Service. Now Max and Janie must turn against their closest colleagues – to solve a case that could cost them far more than just their lives…

Loved it

Angus King is always incredible and this was a perfect story for his talent. A new series for me.

I love this book .

I enjoyed every second of this audiobook. It's so fun finding a new favorite series. I love the characters, the writing, and the narrator's performance.

The engaging performance of Angus King elevates this story

I’m not entranced with these new characters except for maybe Janie. She brings something fresh to the mix. If the next installment continues on the mission where this leaves off, I may pass.
