Synopsis

A heart-stopping crime thriller and the fourth consecutive No. 1 Bestseller from the author of the Logan McRae series and Birthdays for the Dead. He’s back… Eight years ago, ‘The Inside Man’ murdered four women and left three more in critical condition – all of them with their stomachs slit open and a plastic doll stitched inside. And then the killer just … disappeared. Ash Henderson was a Detective Inspector on the initial investigation, but a lot can change in eight years. His family has been destroyed, his career is in tatters, and one of Oldcastle’s most vicious criminals is making sure he spends the rest of his life in prison. Now a nurse has turned up dead, a plastic doll buried beneath her skin, and it looks as if Ash might finally get a shot at redemption. At earning his freedom. At revenge.

Another barnstormer of a read from Stuart MacBride here - I loved Ash Henderson in the first book that featured him and I love him in this too- a true anti-hero, a proper killer character and alongside the brilliantly portrayed Alice a real dynamic literary duo. Rough, tough, no holds barred crime th......more

Goodreads review by David on July 08, 2018

MacBride's books all have a dark and gritty side, but the two Ash Henderson are the darkest and the grittiest. Henderson is paroled from prison after a serial killer from his earlier DI career re-emerges, but he has other unresolved matters to fix as well. A very violent story with a complex multi-d......more

Goodreads review by Yv on May 24, 2017

We zijn zo'n twee jaar verder na de hectiek uit het vorige boek. Ondanks dat we niet alle antwoorden krijgen op de open eindes die Dertien had, weten we wel dat Ash Henderson zijn leven sindsdien hard achteruit is gegaan. Hij zit in de gevangenis, schuldig bevonden aan de moord op zijn broer. Hij wo......more
