Perfect for you if...

  • You love dark Scottish crime fiction with flawed, damaged protagonists who carry the weight of past mistakes.
  • You're drawn to serial killer mysteries where the detective's personal demons are just as dangerous as the case itself.
  • You want gritty procedural detail mixed with psychological depth, not just puzzle-box plotting.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer uplifting stories or crime novels that keep victims at arm's length for emotional comfort.
  • You need your detectives to be straightforward heroes rather than troubled men struggling with addiction and guilt.
  • You're sensitive to child endangerment themes and prefer crime fiction that avoids the darkest scenarios.

About this book

Ten years ago, DCI Jack Logan stopped a serial child-killer known as 'Mister Whisper,' an achievement that brought him a commendation, a drinking problem, and a broken marriage. He now works with Glasgow's Major Investigations Team, spending his nights haunted by memories of the case. When a child disappears in the Highlands, Jack is assigned to lead the investigation. As parallels between this case and the original 'Mister Whisper' killings emerge, Jack begins to question whether he arrested the right person a decade earlier. If he didn't, the real killer may be preparing to claim another victim. This is the debut crime thriller in the DCI Logan Crime Thrillers series.
