Summary
An unpredictable killer is loose on the streets of Glasgow, experimenting with death. Beginning with brute force, the murderer moves on to poison and drowning, greedy for new and better ways to kill. Faced with a string of unconnected victims, DCI Lorimer turns to psychologist and friend Solomon Brightman for his insights.
Lorimer is also assigned to review the case of a fatal house fire. His suspicions are raised by shocking omissions in the original investigation. Some uncomfortable questions have been buried, but Lorimer is the man to ask them. As the serial killer gets closer to Lorimer's family, can the DCI unmask the volatile murderer before the next victim is found too close to home?
Critic reviews
"An efficiently plotted story with the necessary red herrings and an interesting twist." ( Sunday Herald)
"Gray artfully intertwines Lorimer's personal and professional lives, balancing action and gore with the kind of emotional depth that keeps the heart thudding and pages turning." ( Scottish Daily Record)

Fair story but Poor editing
Fairly decent story marred by some poor editing. There were a few paragraphs particularly in chapters 6 & 7 that were repeated, for example one paragraph relating to a fire & the possibility it was due to a chip pan. You found that the story would plod along getting then the narrator woukd repeat the last paragraph again which was very off putting. Also the narration would suddenly stop then start again with the last word or words repeated again. Other than these little niggles it was a an engrossing story if a little far fetched in places.

Bad recording but good story
Terrible recording as there were so many repeated sections. Very unusual to have so many in one recording.

Lacklustre
Whole story seemed to grind to a standstill half an hour before the end. Lacking in any sort of sparkle in those closing stages.

Interesting and entertaining with some editing issues
The story itself took a little time to grab me, but then moved at a good pace and was entertaining. Narration was good but the recording is poorly edited; there are some passages that repeat, which is a little irritating.

Long winded poorly written dull story
Narrator was wasted on such a poor story. Too much of the story felt like padding rather than intrinsic to the plot. Hardly riveting but would be an excellent accompaniment to watching paint dry.
