A murder in a historic Scottish city. An old-school detective. A case like no other…
In the shadow of The Wallace Monument, the murder of a local software executive brings the mind of an old-school Scottish detective into a world he barely understands: cybercrime, artificial intelligence and killers who stay hidden behind screens. But who will win out?
When a body is found in a hotel room in the historic city of Stirling, DCI Ben Fitzpatrick and his protege DS Julie Taylor are called in to investigate. But what initially looks like an accident turns out to be something far more sinister: murder.
DCI Ben Fitzpatrick has spent his career solving crimes the old way – instinct, experience and relentless determination. But this case is different.
As Ben and his team follow the elusive trail of the killer, they are led into the underbelly of the technology world – a place where Ben’s old-school detective skills leave him feeling remarkably out of his depth. And with the shadow of a former case and serious concerns about his health hanging over him, Ben fears this might be one case he just can’t crack, and maybe his last…
As tensions rise, Ben and his team must piece together a puzzle that refuses to reveal itself. Will they find the answers they’re looking for before it’s too late?
In a city steeped in history, the truth is buried deep. Are some secrets really worth killing for?
Perfect for fans of Alex Gray, Stuart MacBride, Ann Cleeves and The Capture TV series.
