From the Sunday Times bestseller comes an electrifying crime thriller for fans of Ian Rankin, Peter James and Stuart MacBride
A young man is found hanging by a rope in his Edinburgh home. A simple, sad suicide, yet Detective Inspector Tony McLean is puzzled by the curious suicide note.
So when a second hanged man and another strange note appear, McClean sees a sinister pattern.
Investigating a brutal prostitution and human trafficking ring, McLean struggles to find time to link the two suicides. But the discovery of a third convinces him of malicious intent.
Digging deeper, McLean finds answers something terrifying stalking the city streets.
And it's much closer to home than he expects . . .

What made the experience of listening to The Hangman's Song the most enjoyable?
I love the voice of Ian Hanmore. Without him, the story would be one that I would enjoy, but I think that he is perfect for this role.What did you like best about this story?
I enjoy reading about crime and detection. However, I felt that the criminal here was obvious, from the point at which her character was introduced, so I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought i would.What does Ian Hanmore bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Ian Hanmore brings the book alive. Without his voice, I may just have given up on this one, once I had worked it out.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
No! It's an odd question for this book.Any additional comments?
Let's have more Inspector McLean, but let's make him more credible next time-stop whinging!The Hangman's Song Or The Familiar Knows!
