In St Andrew's a brutal midnight kicking sends DCI Andy Gilchrist's son, Jack, to hospital, battling for his life. CCTV footage helps Gilchrist retrace Jack's footsteps and uncover a trail of high-spending evenings funded by a sinister couple. But the odds are stacked against Gilchrist. Run off the road on the outskirts of town, Gilchrist then survives a murderous attack in the Cathedral cemetery. Beaten and bruised, he uncovers a criminal scheme of forged identities and foreign murder, which stretches from the seedier parts of Barcelona to the glittering art world of the American east coast ...and pits him with a killer who knows no fear - because he has never been beaten. Praise for T. F. Muir: Everything I look for in a crime novel . (Louise Welsh). Rebus did it for Edinburgh. Laidlaw did it for Glasgow. Gilchrist might just be the bloke to put St Andrews on the crime fiction map.
