A true rising star of crime fiction Ian RankinWonderfully grisly and grim, and a cracking pace James OswaldA frantic, pacy read with a compelling hero Steve CavanaghWar is coming to No-Mans Land, and Connor Fraser will be ready.

A mutilated body is found dumped at Cowanes Hospital in the heart of historic Stirling. For DCI Malcolm Ford its like nothing hes ever seen before, the savagery of the crime makes him want to catch the murderer before he strikes again. For reporter Donna Blake its a shot at the big time, a chance to get her career back on track and prove all the doubters wrong. But for close protection specialist Connor Fraser its merely a grisly distraction from the day job. But then another bloodied and broken corpse is found, this time in the shadow of the Wallace Monument - and with it, a message. One Connor has received before, during his time as a police officer in Belfast.

With Ford facing mounting political and public pressure to make an arrest and quell fears the murders are somehow connected to heightened post-Brexit tensions, Connor is drawn into a race against time to stop another murder. But to do so, he must question old loyalties, confront his past and unravel a mystery that some would sacrifice anything - and anyone - to protect.

From Dundee International Book Prize and Bloody Scotland book of the year nominee Neil Broadfoot comes the first gripping thriller in the white-knuckle Connor Fraser crime series.
