About this book

When renowned author Dr. Daniel Solomon is killed in an explosion in York, authorities initially blame Islamic extremists. However, as the investigation progresses, DS Max Craigie discovers the attack is not what it first appears to be. Craigie uncovers a chilling connection between a series of brutal murders, with each victim linked by a secret someone is determined to protect. As the body count rises and an elusive figure known as The Cashier operates in the shadows, Craigie must navigate a web of corruption and hatred to unravel the truth before more lives are lost. This is the seventh book in Neil Lancaster's DS Max Craigie Scottish Crime Thrillers series, set in Scotland in 2026.
