Story
Her lifeless body is hidden in the dark corner of a basement room, a room which seems to have been left untouched for decades. A room which feels as cold as the grave. As a rowdy demonstration makes its slow and vocal way along Edinburgh's Royal Mile, Detective Chief Inspector Tony McLean's team are on stand-by for any trouble. The newly promoted McLean is distracted, inexplicably drawn to a dead-end mews street...and a door, slightly ajar, which leads to this poor girl's final resting place. But how long has she been there, in her sleep of death?

DCI Nelson has been receiving threatening letters telling him to 'go to the stone circle and rescue the innocent who is buried there'. He is shaken, not only because children are very much on his mind, with Michelle's baby due to be born, but because although the letters are anonymous, they are somehow familiar. They read like the letters that first drew him into the case of The Crossing Places, and to Ruth. But the author of those letters is dead....

Story
What happened to Jacques Gaillard? The brilliant teacher at the École Nationale d’Administration, who trained some of France’s best and brightest as future prime ministers and presidents, vanished ten years ago, presumably from Paris. This ten-year-old mystery inspires a bet—one that Enzo Macleod, a biologist teaching in Toulouse, France, instead of pursuing a brilliant career in forensics back home in Scotland, can ill afford to lose.

Keeps you hanging right to the end
I have grown to admire and enjoy Peter May's work but this was the most fulfilling of all the books I have listened to so far. The grey chill of Brussels, the jostling of competitive reporters, the pressures of international politics and the concise descriptions of locations brought this story to life in my imagination.
Peter Forbes is an excellent reader of Peter May's stories. Sometimes, you even forget he is there!
Excellent.

Another wonderful listen
Great duo - Peter May’s literary skills combined with Peter Forbes narration, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book.
A revision of an earlier novel which is set in Europe rather than in Scotland but with the main character being Scottish. It’s an easy to listen to, good thriller. Highly recommended.

Up to standard
A super book in every way, it was a little dated, as Peter May says in the foreword, it was one of his earlier books and has been resurrected, there were no mobile phones and a lot of smoking in today's forbidden places, however, this did not detract in any way from the quality of the writing.
The characters were likeable and believable, the story was excellent. All in all a super book brilliantly read by Peter Forbes.

Such a good read!
This book was worth the wait, Peter May has lost none of his touch to convey the emotions and machinations of his characters. At times I felt frustration and anger toward Bannerman, but all the while knowing that his actions completely fitted with man he was. I do hope that there will be other books continuing his story alongside that of his journalistic investigations.

This is an early Peter May and the central character I felt was probably a forerunner of Enzo. Thoroughly good thriller with excellent characters. As always a delight to listen to a good Peter May tale well read by Peter Forbes.
