Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin

THE UNPUTDOWNABLE, UNMISSABLE THRILLER FROM THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR.

Who do you trust when everyone's guilty?

Marky Bishop is dying. That's why they've given him a compassionate early release, only where can a career criminal like him go to spend his final months?

From the outside, Glenfarach looks like a quaint, sleepy, snow-dusted village, nestled deep in the heart of Cairngorms National Park, but things aren't what they seem. The place is thick with security cameras, and there's a strict nine o'clock curfew, because Glenfarach is the last safe haven for people who've served their sentences but can't be safely released into the general population.

For Detective Constable Edward Reekie, this was supposed to be a simple delivery job - drive his new boss up to HMP Grampian and collect Marky Bishop, take him to Glenfarach, then head back home again. Nothing dangerous or complicated.

So how could it all go so horribly wrong?

The weather's closing in, tensions are mounting, and time's running out - something nasty has come to Glenfarach, and Edward is standing right in its way...

Quotes

'Often very funny and concludes with a glorious twist' The Times

MacBride is one of this country's finest crime writers, but he is no exponent of 'cosy' crime, as he demonstrates here with this fierce, dark tale of a young detective delivering a prisoner to a village in the Scottish Highlands to spend his last days. . . Written in MacBride's familiar tongue-in-cheek style, it fizzes from every page Daily Mail

A tale with genuine jeopardy that is also sheer entertainment. It's a high wire balancing act, but MacBride never falters Scotland on Sunday

Not your usual crime story, this is a darkly funny Fawlty Towers Sun

A classic, twisty thriller i Paper
