This is the third of the DS Max Craigie series; it is the second I have read.
A noted gang enforcer for hire whose case was “not proven”in court is found dead, as his attorney. A tip to a journalist ties these murders to others and the possibility of the involvement of someone within the police department. Craigie and his team investigate the department as well as try to find the serial killer.
Gritty, fast paced, engrossing, this is a solid police procedural, ringing true not only in the actions of the characters but also their camaraderie and their friendly mockery of each other. For added enjoyment, there are some very colorful Scottish expressions.
Although this further develops the characters introduced in the prior novels, I think it can work well as a standalone.
Thanks to Netgalley and HQDigital for the arc.
