Meet your next favourite Scottish detectives: DI Colin Anderson and DS Winifred ‘Freddie’ Costello
A serial killer is stalking Glasgow.
A woman is found dead in her own home. No sign of forced entry. But she is posed as though on the cross. Ripped open and bled to death. With a blistering of chloroform round her mouth and nose.
She’s not the first victim found like this.
Detectives Anderson and Costello are on the case. But their boss, DCI Alan McAlpine, is unravelling before their eyes.
The past holds horrific memories for McAlpine. He last worked this beat some twenty years earlier, when he was assigned to guard a woman, faceless after a sadistic acid attack. He couldn’t protect her.
The past is resurfacing.
Three women are dead.
Can they stop a serial killer who’s terrifying the gritty streets of Glasgow?
A Scottish police procedural that will keep your pulse racing from electrifying opening to heart-stopping finish.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA’S NEW BLOOD DAGGER FOR BEST DEBUT OF THE YEAR
WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING:
“Glasgow comes alive in Caro Ramsay’s dark, vivid and daring thriller.” Val McDermid
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Instantly, thoroughly enjoyable. Characters complex and very well depicted, writing workmanlike . . . excellent dialogue.” Sandra
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I have fallen in love with Caro Ramsay’s books . . . You will feel the cold of a Scottish winter and the frustration of a small, under-resourced team trying to solve something far too big with far too little. A great read!” ElleJay
“Caro Ramsay works hard to bring the cold and constant dark and dirty Glaswegian rain to life . . . On every page the dialogue crackles, the language always remains crisp and fresh, and the details of the murder case are sharp and keenly observed.” Michael L.
“As much as this is a detective novel, it’s also a psychological thriller, and as such is beautifully done. It’s hard to believe this is a debut novel.” Colin M.
“Ramsay manages to paint a vivid picture of rain-lashed Glasgow. The stark late autumn landscape is a fitting backdrop to the brutal murders.” Publisher’s Weekly
THE DETECTIVES
DI Colin Anderson: A well-qualified graduate with true Scottish grit. He’s calm, efficient and focused — despite his marriage falling apart, and the fact that he’s just a tiny bit in love with the boss’s wife.
DS Winifred “Freddie” Costello: Pithy, sometimes crabbit (as they say in Glasgow), Costello is incredibly capable, but not above pushing boundaries when needed. She’s a well-respected officer who always puts police work first. She’s had a crush on DCI McAlpine for many years now, but that doesn’t stop her getting the job done.
THE SETTING
Drizzly, grey Glasgow and its seedy backstreets along with up-and-coming new estates is the setting for this gritty series. The realities of poverty and crime are laid bare — with the underfunded police department trying to keep the damn from breaking.
