Synopsis

'Truly difficult to put down’ Daily Mail 

'High-concept plot keeps the 'tecs and the reader on their toes’ Sunday Times Crime Club

'Devilishly clever . . . This might be his best yet'  SJI Holliday?, author of Violet

'Perfect for fans of Thirteen by Steve Cavanagh' Reader review 

ONLY ONE PERSON CAN SAVE YOU. AND HE WANTS YOU DEAD. 
 
Police find a man dead at his home in Los Angeles. Nothing suggests foul-play but elements of the victim’s house show that something is deeply wrong.

Meanwhile, in Glasgow, DI Rachel Narey is searching for a missing young woman – and the man she suspects of killing her.

When a feed broadcasting the slow and painful death of a final victim is discovered, these two cases become linked.

There’s no way to identify him.
No way to find him
No way to save him.
Not without the cooperation of a killer.

And the only way he will cooperate is if he can watch him die.

The gripping new novel from the acclaimed author of Murderabilia and The Photographer, both nominated for the McIlvanney Prize.

Praise for Craig Robertson:

'Packed full of tension, Watch Him Die is a brilliantly unnerving read - an original premise with a devilishly clever execution, the story unfolds with expert precision. I flew through the pages, sick with dread. An excellent thriller from a crime stalwart - in fact, this might be his best yet'  SJI Holliday, author of Violet

‘Robertson, a maestro of Tartan noir, twins a dogged Glasgow detective with her counterparts in Los Angeles, but can this formidable team find a psycho killer who seems to leave no trace? High-concept plot keeps the 'tecs and the reader on their toes’ Sunday Times, Crime Club

‘Exceptionally talented . . . Robertson’s skill in matching the atmosphere of LA with that of Scotland is mightily impressive, as is his ability to maintain the suspense that lies at the heart of the search for a dying man. This is truly difficult to put down’ Daily Mail

'Brilliantly and sensitively written' Steve Cavanagh, bestselling author of Thirteen

'Craig Robertson’s Narey and Winter series goes from strength to strength, and this latest instalment is the most compelling. Brace yourself to be horrified and hooked' Eva Dolan

'I can't recommend this book highly enough' Martina Cole

'Fantastic characterisation, great plotting, page-turning and gripping. The best kind of intelligent and moving crime fiction writing' Luca Veste

'Powerfully and stylishly written. Recommended' Steve Mosby

'Takes the reader on a wickedly entertaining ride through a fascinatingly sinister world' Sunday Mirror

Well, this one hooked me in right from the start and gripped me to the very end. How does a dead body in a district of Los Angeles link to a missing girl that DI Rachel Narey is investigating in Glasgow.?

Goodreads review by Louise on June 01, 2020

DI Rachel Neary #8 Set in LA and Glasgow. Evil found it's twin despite there being an ocean between them. The search is on for dead bodies in Los Angeles. The hunt is on for live victims in Glasgow. Detectives are working on cases that are interlinked somehow. The book has been cleverly crafted. Its......more

Goodreads review by Mary on June 09, 2020

Oh my! This one is a doozie. I mean that in a good way. Watch Him Die puts a capital N into Noir. A high concept thriller that really ticks all of my many boxes when it comes to enjoyment of a crime thriller. Set in both Glasgow and Los Angeles, Robertson has come up with a concept that makes this re......more

Goodreads review by Nick on September 09, 2021

I enjoyed this. With the ambitious plot linking murders in LA and in Glasgow, there seemed to be a little 'extra' with this that raised it above the run-of-the-mill police procedural. This maybe felt necessary because unlike some of the preceding novels in the series, and maybe some of my other favo......more

Goodreads review by Raven on June 15, 2020

I am a confirmed fan of Craig Robertson’s Glasgow based crime series featuring DI Rachel Narey, which unfailingly combine all the elements of a solid police procedural and some truly unsettling investigations. With Watch Him Die, Robertson has totally smashed it out of the park, by introducing a new......more
