About this listen

A missing witness. A hidden conspiracy. One hell of a case.

As Acting DC Scott Cullen works with DC Craig Hunter to track down a witness who didn’t show during a court case, they stumble upon another crime–two homeless women, dying of a suspected heroin overdose.

As they investigate, they uncover a far-reaching criminal empire, dealing death and misery to Edinburgh’s underclass. And come across another investigative team who may not be exactly on the same side.

As the case brings two cops together and drives a wedge between another pair, can Cullen and Hunter rescue the witness and bring her assailant to justice?

Dead in the Water is the first book in the Police Scotland crime thriller series of bestselling Scottish crime novels, which will all be released in Audio in 2025.

You do have to pay attention to the story, so its harder to multitasking, but its really worth it. I read it first while busy and felt like it was lacking, but listened again when I had down time and loved it. Looking forward to getting to know the characters more. The authors work I gripping.

Great characters, Great series starter.
