It's a skill that can help solve mysteries ranging from disappearances to murder.
Two severed feet wash up on two different islands off the coast of Scotland. Forensics shows that the feet belong to the same body. As Cal McGill investigates, he unravels a web of corruption, exploitation and human trafficking, which threatens many lives across the globe - including his own....

Really great start to a series.
Absolutely loved this, a fab introduction to some lovely new characters and a good plot. Although I have to admit I've realised I would be entranced by David Monteath's voice reading a dictionary!

loved this audiobook
The story was well written and has an original angle on crime with some very funny situations and good humour. Good characterisation and narration. I am looking forward to listening to the next audiobook.

5 star storyline and narration
Great storyline with twists and turns, seediest side of humanity dealt with but also humour. Fantastic narration. I am looking for more in this series.

Engaging
Unimaginative title; much better content. Lots of sub plots that all tie in at the end. I really enjoyed this one.

2 stories, 1 book
Cal is the occasionally unlikable and occasionally eminently likeable main character who hooks these 2 stories together. I enjoyed the twists and turns of the 2 plots and have decided not to resist the temptation of 'diving' straight into the next book.

Very good audiobook
Very nicely contained detective story, highly recommended. Nicely read too. Original concept, perhaps all tidied up too nicely but great for the commute!

Sea detective
Not a run of the mill tale! Very intricate and well told, all emotions get involved - not at all what I was expecting but I did enjoy it. Hope you do too.
