About this listen

When Joe Christie's fishing boat is swept onto Tentsmuir beach during a fierce storm, a man's mutilated body is found in the hold. DCI Andy Gilchrist of St Andrews CID is called in to investigate. But his murder investigation deepens when he learns that Joe Christie and his boat have been missing for three years.

The police pathologist, Dr Rebecca Cooper, retrieves a five pound note from the dead man's throat. Is this the killer's calling card? And whatever happened to Joe Christie? Cooper offers Gilchrist a clue to the dead man's identity - a scar from a recent operation to repair a bone shattered by a bullet.

The dead man is found to have been on the payroll of big Jock Shepherd, Scotland's premier crime patriarch, and when three more of Shepherd's men turn up brutally murdered, Gilchrist fears a tectonic shift in the criminal underworld.

Gilchrist and his partner, DS Jessie Janes, set off along a murderous trail where they uncover a plot involving drug shipments and police corruption, and come face to face with a man for whom human life means nothing.

This is a great story but spoiled for me by the narrator not pronouncing “Anster” correctly. Really think somebody should have picked up on that part of the joy of these stories is that they are based in a part of Fife I know well.

Great story but

Love the whole DCI Gilchrist series and this one was brilliant. Characters superb, plot twists and turns but above all it’s the humanity of the real life issues that makes this detective fiction at its best. Not to mention the best reader ever. When is the next one?!

Fantastic

I love the DCI Gilchrist books. The characters are so well formed that they feel like family. I'm dreading getting to the end of the series. I'll have to start from the beginning again. The storylines are dark and engrossing and Jessie is a joy. She's the perfect foil for the even-tempered Gilchrist. Don't like Cooper. What woman would? Expertly and brilliantly narrated which is a big part of the enjoyment.

Another winner featuring Andy Gilchrist
