Perfect for you if...

You enjoy crime thrillers with strong character work alongside the plot mechanics, especially when protagonists aren't traditionally heroic.
You're drawn to stories that dig into the real human cost of digital crime and online vulnerability in ways that feel contemporary and urgent.
You like Scottish noir with wit and dark humour, where the investigation matters as much as the moral questions it raises.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer straightforward revenge plots or action thrillers where the stakes are physical rather than psychological and emotional.
You're looking for a cosy crime read or something you can switch off to while watching telly; this demands engagement.
You want standalone books rather than instalments in a longer series, even though this works as entry point.

About this book

Sam Morpeth has had to grow up quickly. After her mother goes to prison, she cares for her younger sister who has learning difficulties, abandoning her university plans. Her situation worsens when a stranger begins blackmailing her online, leaving her feeling powerless. Reporter Jack Parlabane has recently secured a position at an online news start-up, reviving his career. However, his success has created a debt to a volatile source on the wrong side of the law. That debt is now being collected, threatening everything he has rebuilt. When Sam and Jack are brought together by a common enemy, they discover unexpected common ground. Their alliance may be the only way either of them can survive what comes next. Published in the UK as Want You Gone.
