eBook
'A parade of pipe bands should welcome this tartan noir newcomer. Johnstone's a former cop. It shows in this tough and crisply written thriller with the punch of a triple scotch...Welcome to your new crime addiction!' Peterborough Telegraph Intuition is everything in the police force, something that Sergeant Don Colyear knows better than most. When a superior officer's decision not to respond to a routine disturbance has fatal consequences, Colyear finds himself sent away from Glasgow to work in a remote Highlands town. Despite not wanting to be there, a feeling shared by his commander, Colyear soon settles into life investigating petty crimes. But it isn't long before he discovers something strange about the town. A string of teenage disappearances seems to have been ignored by the authorities. And when a groundsman from the local sporting estate is gruesomely murdered, Colyear suspects that long-held secrets could be coming to the surface. As he delves further into the town's history, it isn't long before his own life is at risk.
