Summary
You get away with murder.
In a remote sea loch on the west coast of Scotland, a fisherman vanishes without trace. His remains are never found.
You make people disappear.
A young man jumps from a bridge in Glasgow and falls to his death in the water below. DS Max Craigie uncovers evidence that links both victims. But if he can’t find out what cost them their lives, it won’t be long before more bodies turn up at the morgue…
You come back for revenge.
Soon cracks start to appear in the investigation, and Max’s past hurtles back to haunt him. When his loved ones are threatened, he faces a terrifying choice: let the only man he ever feared walk free, or watch his closest friend die…
LONGLISTED FOR THE 2022 McILVANNEY PRIZE FOR SCOTTISH CRIME BOOK OF THE YEAR! Max, Janie and Ross return in the second gripping novel in this explosive Scottish crime series.

Craigie & co versus corrupt coppers!
Been a while since listening to book one in the series, but instantly reconnected with with DS Max Craigie (& darling pup Nutmeg - who doesn't love a spaniel/poodle cross?) and his covert investigative team.
Although The Blood Tide could be heard as a stand alone book, the plot does follow on closely from Dead Man's Grave. It's a roller coaster ride, a thrilling police procedural; there's cocaine smuggling, more police corruption, the search for identity of the high ranking officer k/a 'The Contact' & continuing presence of menacing criminal Tam Hardie, and importantly a very satisfactory conclusion.
Can't help but see similarities with the Scottish Police Standards Reassurance team and TV series Line of Duty's Anti-Corruption Unit 12 (AC-12) but that's fine.
The only crime left needing addressing is that author Neil Lancaster failed to mention Angus King's fabulous narration in his end Acknowledgements re the audio-book.
As the next book is already in my Audible Library, it's straight onto that.

Top Class Listen
I thoroughly enjoyed this second audiobook that followed on nicely from the first in the series. Great plot and characters with lots of twists and turns. Hats off to Angus King for a wonderful narration. He drew me to Neil’s books after enjoying his performances in JD Kirks’s DCI Logan series. I’m looking forward to book number three!

Fantastic book
The story had me hooked from the beginning. I loved the characters. Top marks has to go to the narrator Angus King who brought the story to life. There were times I was on the edge of my seat, the tension. I can’t wait to download the next book.
