About this listen

A number one Scottish crime best seller from Denzil Meyrick; James Machie was a man with a genius for violence, his criminal empire spreading beyond Glasgow into the UK and mainland Europe.

Fortunately, James Machie is dead, assassinated in the back of a prison ambulance following his trial and conviction. But now, five years later, he is apparently back from the grave, set on avenging himself on those who brought him down.

Top of his list is his previous associate, Frank MacDougall, who unbeknownst to D.C.I. Jim Daley, is living under protection on his lochside patch, the small Scottish town of Kinloch. Daley knows that, having been the key to Machie's conviction, his old friend and colleague D.S. Scott is almost as big a target. And nothing, not even death, has ever stood in James Machie's way....

Just as good as the first, this book kept my interest right to the end. The characters have been developed further and the storyline had pace and intrigue.

Praise must be made to the outstanding narration which lifts the story to another level. I look forward to book 3.

An excellent sequel

The usual exciting story of crime in this small Scottish village, with humour sprinkled in as well.

Exciting

I'm enjoying these stories. We are gradually getting to know the main characters with their faults and foibles. A good detective story to go with it and DCI Daley getting one over his boss. Well worth a credit.

Another good detective story

I personally found this a bit disappointing after the brilliance of it's predecessor. But brilliant narration saved it and made it listenable
