The clock is ticking…

Detective Constable Angus MacVicar has just landed his dream job – transferred out of uniform and assigned to Oldcastle’s biggest ongoing murder investigation: Operation Telegram, hunting the “Fortnight Killer”.

Every two weeks another couple is targeted. One victim is left at the scene, their corpse used as a twisted message board. The second body is never seen again.

This should be the perfect chance for Angus to prove himself, but instead of working on the investigation’s front line, he’s lumbered with the forensic psychologist from hell. A jetlagged, sarcastic, know-it-all American, on loan from the FBI, who seems determined to alienate everyone while dragging Angus into a shadowy world of conspiracies, lies, and violence.

It’s been twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and the investigation’s running out of time. The darkness is growing, and if Angus isn’t careful, it’ll swallow him whole…

I adore Angus King as a narrator which is why I chose this title. Maybe it was the often farcical nature of the story, but even he seemed over enthusiastic.

The whole production too over-the-top for me

Oh, how I’ve missed Stuart MacBride!!! The characters, the descriptions (eyes like two red sphincters), the reading by the great Angus King . . . I’m here for every bit of it. More please. No one else mixes the macabre with humor so successfully. Can’t wait for the next entry.

His Beardiness is Back!!!

Stuart MacBride and Angus King, I can't think of a better combination! Really enjoyed the characters, story and nice long length - sorry it ended!

Don't Miss This One!

Please stop with the unending political nonsense. Tell me a good story without all the agenda driving insinuating comments. I understand a comment now and again can be made to carry a character but your nonstop men are no good, religion is no good, and on and on and on. I loved Scottish crime for there humor and bluntness. Now over the last couple years your books and another author has gone downhill. I listen to audio books to get away from the political nonsense that has saturated every aspect of today's life.

Please stop
