The head of Scotland's most powerful crime family is brutally murdered, his body dumped inside an ancient grave in a remote cemetery. Detectives Max Craigie and Janie Calder arrive at the scene, a small town where everyone has secrets to hide. They soon realize this murder is part of a blood feud between two Scottish families that stretches back to the 1800s. Now Max and Janie must turn against their closest colleagues.
This book is a complete page turner. It grabbed me from the start and kept me on the edge of my seat. Lancaster is a great storyteller with excellent twists and great characters. Can't wait to read the next book in the series in order to get back to see what's happening with these characters. If you like books about police corruption then you will enjoy this book. Thanks to NetGalley & HQ Digital for a free copy for an honest review.
