_______________
Your favourite Scottish detective is back with a brand new case, one that threatens to destroy everything.
Inspector Daniel Kohi of the Zimbabwean police force returns home one night to find his worst nightmare has been realised. His family dead, his house destroyed, and in fear for his life, he is forced to flee the country he loves.
Far away in Glasgow, DSI William Lorimer has his hands full. Christmas is approaching, the city is bustling, and whilst the homicide rate has been relatively low, something much darker is brewing. Counter-Terrorism have got wind of a plot, here in Lorimer's native city, to carry out an unspeakable atrocity on Christmas Eve. They need someone with local knowledge to help them root it out and who better than the head of the Scottish Major Incidents Team.
But the investigation is complicated by a spate of local murders, and by the rumours that someone is passing information to criminal organisations from inside the police force. Soon Lorimer finds himself in desperate need of assistance. Then he meets an extraordinary man - a refugee from Zimbabwe whose investigative skills are a match for Lorimer's own . . .

Great story ; well read
We really enjoyed this story which was our first Alex Gray audio book.
Joe Dunlop is an excellent narrator whose subtle use of accents gave life to the characters .

A Glasgow Christmas
Once again a story that grips you from the first chapter . You want to know what the ending is but you don’t want the story to finish. Very well read. I have recommended the “ William Lorimer” stories to several friends and they have enjoyed them as much as I did.

Brilliant
Another brilliant book by one of my favourite authors. I like his work because there is no unnecessary violence, sex, and the small amount of swearing was entirely relevant to the characters. In this day and age these are part of the norm for so many books to have the above storylines. This authors books have everything that makes for a great story. It brought tears to my eyes a few times. I got great insight into the characters and felt I knew them faults and all. I also love the narrators soft Scottish accent and how he adapts so well to all the other accents. A great book by a great author.

I struggled withe narrator’s delivery, eventually falling asleep.
A mediocre story spoiled. I am having difficulty finding the required 15 words.
