Summary

When Kirsty Wilson lands a room in a luxury Glasgow flat owned by Swedish fellow student Eva Magnusson she can't believe her luck. But Kirsty's delight turns to terror when she finds the beautiful Swedish girl lying dead in their home and their male flatmate accused of her murder.

Kirsty refuses to accept that he is guilty and, inspired by family friend Detective Superintendent Lorimer, sets out to clear his name. Meanwhile, Lorimer calls on trusted psychologist Solly Brightman to help unravel the truth behind the enigmatic Eva's life and death. But it is not long until another woman, bearing a marked resemblance to Eva, is brutally murdered.

Horrified, Lorimer realises that Kirsty could be right. Is it possible that Glasgow's finest detective has put the wrong man behind bars? And is there a cold-blooded killer out there orchestrating the death of the next innocent victim?

In this gripping read, Alex Gray sends her dynamic Scottish detective from the gritty heart of Glasgow to the snowy streets of Stockholm in his toughest case yet.

Alex does it again

It took me a while to get into Alex Gray novels and I found the narrators voice a little slow.
But now I have got used to the voice, I just love it.
Story and Lorrimer both brilliant .
Looking forward to the next book.

Intriguing All The Way

As ever Alex Gray keeps you constantly engaged in the story. Always a twist and a turn to keep you second guessing. Brilliant plot, just a really great listen with the wonderful voice of Joe Dunlop.

Every bit as enjoyable the second time

I enjoyed this book very much. It is very well read and the plot has a lot of twists and turns; it kept my interest all the way to the end.

Great for falling asleep to at night.
