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
Don’t miss the first stunning thriller in the new DS Max Craigie Scottish Crime series!
Critic reviews
"Rock hard cop stuff, from a writer who’s done it for real. Absolutely terrific." (Paul Finch)
"If you want to know how the police really do it, you’d be mad to miss out on Neil Lancaster’s assured Dead Man’s Grave." (Claire Seeber)
"When it comes to police procedure, this man’s the real deal. An explosive opening to an exciting new series." (Paul Gitsham)

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

This Grave Never to be Opened.
If Jed Mercurio's Line of Duty appealed, then you'll love this. An historical feud is rekindled and ex Metropolitan Police officer Max Cragie & partner Janey Calder have to deal with the rising body count & insidious corruption in Police Scotland.
I lost a whole lot of sleep over the past couple of nights as I found the story utterly compelling. I had to keep listening!
Excellently narrated by Angus King, he does a decent job of countless different accents. A couple of them made me wince, but didn't affect my enjoyment of the book in the least.
Fans of McIlvanney, Rankin and Oswald will love this. Can't wait for a follow up!

A good listen
The narrator I thought portrayed characters well , especially as I believe
It could have been a little shorter. I look forward to listening to another one.
