Summary
Detective Lola Harris returns from a miserable solo holiday – an effort to get over her useless ex – only to find herself in charge of a high-stakes investigation.
She rushes to a crime scene in the historic Gallowgate neighbourhood. The smell in the basement is thick and sweet, even through Lola’s forensic mask.
The old wooden chair and the rope hanging from its arms are stained red. The earth below is saturated with blood. Six candleholders, their lights burned out, lend the scene an air of a completed ritual. And yet there is no sign of a body.
A smashed-up phone in the corner puts the investigators on the trail of a local politician who has vanished without trace and a controversial artist who died 30 years ago on a remote Hebridean island. Lola will have to work with the most obnoxious detective in Glasgow if she’s going to stop the killer from striking again.

Excellent…eventually
It took me a couple of hours to get in the story and I almost gave up. Glad I pushed through though, exciting story and interesting characters. Have bought the next in the series.
Very well read.

Twists and turns
This was an amazing listen, just when I thought I had the killer a twist would change my thoughts. I was on the edge of my seat and was happily confused as to what was the truth and what was merely the fantasy of characters. The detail of locations made me want to visit these locations.
Narrator was great, the differences in dialects and accents was great to feel the depth of characters. Can’t wait to see what happens next with Lola!!

Great story
I didn’t think I’d like this book on the first listen but it grew in pace and story. It was a very good listen and I really enjoyed it
