Summary

With his near-fatal stabbing almost a memory, DI Bob Valentine is settling back onto the force - until one of Ayrshire's darkest secrets is unearthed. 

The skeletal remains of a boy, his hands and feet cable-tied, turns up in a semifoetal position during routine drainage works. The boy is soon identified as a missing child from the 1980s, reopening a cold case that was previously thought unsolvable. When the remains of more children are unearthed, Valentine soon finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy linking the past and present through some of the most shocking crimes of his police career.

All three books read in greedy successions & loved to the last .......or is it the last?

New to Tony Black two weeks ago I've read the series of 3 books (listened actually whilst completing boring chores) and I've absolutely LOVED BOTH the writing and performance. I just wish Bob Valentine had married better,..... not a shallow, shopping & pointless woman like Claire....... what's with these Deep Men marrying shallow Women?....clearly never met a Woman like me........Grrrrrrr! Absolutely LOVED the Detection story, loved Bob, side kick, colleagues, even ghastly boss.....just found Claire empty and pointless and disappointed that blinkered Bob Valentine cannot see her! 🙈 If you love Stuart McBride, James Oswald, James Nally etc Bob Valentine is SO FOR YOU! Try him and love him as I do......more please?

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
