About this listen

'A true rising star of crime fiction' Ian Rankin

'Wonderfully grisly and grim, and a cracking pace' James Oswald

'A frantic, pacy read with a compelling hero' Steve Cavanagh

War is coming to No-Man's Land, and Connor Fraser will be ready.

A mutilated body is found dumped at Cowane's Hospital in the heart of historic Stirling. For DCI Malcolm Ford it's like nothing he's ever seen before, the savagery of the crime makes him want to catch the murderer before he strikes again. For reporter Donna Blake it's a shot at the big time, a chance to get her career back on track and prove all the doubters wrong. But for close protection specialist Connor Fraser it's merely a grisly distraction from the day job.

But then another bloodied and broken corpse is found, this time in the shadow of the Wallace Monument - and with it, a message. One Connor has received before, during his time as a police officer in Belfast.

With Ford facing mounting political and public pressure to make an arrest and quell fears the murders are somehow connected to heightened post-Brexit tensions, Connor is drawn into a race against time to stop another murder. But to do so, he must question old loyalties, confront his past and unravel a mystery that some would sacrifice anything - and anyone - to protect.

From Dundee International Book Prize and Bloody Scotland book of the year nominee Neil Broadfoot comes the first gripping thriller in the white-knuckle Connor Fraser crime series.

Entertaining but no masterpiece

An entertaining enough tale but rather heavy on the machismo with a plot twist which fails to surprise.

Laborious

A difficult book to get into. Characters lack lustre, story drawn out and slow. (Not fast paced as advertised). But it had plenty of missed potential, so I will try the next instalment.

exciting and fast paced

really enjoyed this first instalment of this series. the main character's profession gives a slightly different take on the usual murder/crime stories. it did get complicated at times as it does assume some knowledge of English politics. Angus King does a brilliant job as usual in the narration. one frustrating issue with this audio book is the first word of some chapters and sentences appear to be edited out making it annoying/frustrating as I was not sure who said what or whether I was missing pertinent information.

So dull I slept through most of it.

Not even Angus can drag this novel out of its mediocrity and I love his narration. Although I truly tried to finish this book I just can’t, the characters have nothing to make them exceptional and the story line is slow, dull and predictable. JD Kirk and Angus King make a much better partnership!
