Publisher's Summary

A body is found in a tree in the Meadows, Edinburgh's beautiful public park. The forensics suggest that the corpse has fallen from a height - but was it an accident or a shocking message?

The dead man had led quite a life - a disgraced ex-cop turned criminal kingpin and, most recently, the head of a celebrated charity.

As McLean investigates, his search takes him from the city's underworld - crossing paths with some of the most dangerous and the most vulnerable people in society - before taking him to the heart of a shadowy conspiracy stretching back years....

Pull in as always

Oswald manages to create a crazy plausible story that has you pulled in within the first couple of chapters .
Hanmore builds on this with perfect narration and accents that take me back to my home town so so easily !

These are good stories

Tony policeman is a bit of a dill constantly being really stupid. I think I like the start of these tales better than the end.
