About this listen
Two brutal killings rock Inverness, and bring ex-Met Detective Inspector Lukas Mahler the biggest challenge of his career...
The body of the queen of daytime TV, Morven Murray is discovered by her sister, Anna, on the morning of her wedding day. But does Anna know more about the murder than she's letting on?
Police informant Kevin Ramsay's murder looks like a gangland-style execution. But what could he have stumbled into that was dangerous enough to get him violently killed?
Mahler has only a couple of weeks to solve both cases while dealing with his mother's fragile mental health. But caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, is ex-Met DI Lukas Mahler hunting one killer, or two?

Critic reviews
'Shadow Man is a harrowing and horrific game of consequences.'
A new star of tartan noir is born. Kirk has written a brilliantly tense, atmospheric debut. I can't wait to read more in this highland crime series.
A harrowing tale of two murders set in Inverness. Be prepared to hear more from DI Lukas Mahler and his talented creator.
Dark and compelling.
Looking forward to Book 2.
Excellent start to a new series

The story is excellent. Intriguing characters, and a terrific sense of place. Well written, and a fine new entry into the Tartan Noir genre.
The reader falls down in several areas. Despite being a Scot, his attempt at an Inverness accent is somewhat lacking, but it is his pronunciation of place names that causes the most issues. For example, Tomatin should be stressed on the second syllable, To-matin, not To-ma-tin. He can perhaps be forgiven for getting a US name, La Jolla, wrong, but a simple bit of research would have revealed that it is pronounced La Hoya.
A little more care would improve this audiobook considerably, so that it does justice to the writer’s efforts in telling a good story
Great story, but a poor recording.

Poor DI Mahler has a lot to contend with, having just recently attended the funeral of a friend and colleague, his mother is having a rough time and now he's running two murder investigations, or it that one double murder investigation ... ? Buy it and find out for yourself.
If you like the Logan MacCrae series I think you will like this book, it too has it's moments of dark humour and the narration, as mentioned, is superb.
Outstanding
