About this listen

Helen Carter has just landed her first case as a detective: a murder in an abandoned cinema. A mysterious clock-like symbol is drawn on the wall...in blood.

Stranger still is what the killer left behind: the business card of an ex-cop.

Since being promoted from WPC, Helen is having trouble making her mark in the male-dominated Edinburgh CID, working under Inspector Jack Craven. He’s not happy about having a woman on his team. Witnesses won’t talk to her; her colleagues don’t take her seriously.

And now a body turns up in a sweet shop with a pocket watch shoved in his mouth.

The clock is ticking to stop a serial killer.

Fans of Ashes to Ashes, Caro Ramsay, Helen H. Durrant, J.D. Kirk, Angela Marsons, Rachel McLean, Val McDermid and Alex Gray will love this retro Scottish crime series set in the 1970s.

Critic reviews

"A brilliant debut." (Lorraine Mace, author of the DI Sterling thriller series)

I was looking for a Scottish detective story. Found it very frustrating as it was very slow. The story is set in the 70s and we have come a long way since then from dealing with macho males and stereo typical Scottish ones as that. Not sure I would want to read any more in the series if they are like that.

Nice to hear about the Edinburgh setting and the one plus is that she saw sense in the end when it came to her love life. Young people would not understand how she put up with things as it certainly would not be tolerated in this day and age
