Summary
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....
Longlisted for the 2021 McIlvanney Prize for Scottish Crime Book of the Year

Twice Listened, Still Thrilled!
This is my second listen of this audiobook and I enjoyed it even more than the first time. It is a brilliant and realistic police procedural with a complex plot and engaging characters. The story is full of twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. The author has created a vivid and authentic picture of Scotland and its criminal underworld.
The narrator, Angus King, is superb. He brings the story to life with his excellent voice and accents. He captures the emotions and personalities of the characters perfectly. He makes me feel like I am right there with them, experiencing their joys and sorrows, their fears and hopes. He makes this audiobook special.
I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who enjoys crime fiction and mystery thrillers. It is one of the best I have listened to this year. I am repeating my listen of all the audiobooks in the series and I can’t wait for the next one!

FANTASTIC
I had already read this book previously so this was a re-enjoyment/introduction to Angus King. He did a fab job as narrator, really brought it to life and did several different voices for the characters

A really enjoyable listen
This book grabs from the start. It is the first I have listened to by this author but will certainly purchase more. The narration was excellent and brought the characters and story to life.
