Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The clock is ticking…
Detective Constable Angus MacVicar has just landed his dream job – transferred out of uniform and assigned to Oldcastle’s biggest ongoing murder investigation: Operation Telegram, hunting the “Fortnight Killer”.
Every two weeks another couple is targeted. One victim is left at the scene, their corpse used as a twisted message board. The second body is never seen again.
This should be the perfect chance for Angus to prove himself, but instead of working on the investigation’s front line, he’s lumbered with the forensic psychologist from hell. A jetlagged, sarcastic, know-it-all American, on loan from the FBI, who seems determined to alienate everyone while dragging Angus into a shadowy world of conspiracies, lies, and violence.
It’s been twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and the investigation’s running out of time. The darkness is growing, and if Angus isn’t careful, it’ll swallow him whole…

Stuart MacBride is Back!!
I absolutely loved this book, the story kept me gripped from beginning to end and Angus King is the best narrator out there by a country mile - Stuart + Angus = Win Win!!
I loved the new characters - Angus is a total hero and I couldn't help comparing him and Dr Fife to characters from Game of Thrones, utterly brilliant!
I really hope this becomes a new series (but not until after the next Logan McRae).

Great narration
Loved it. Great characterisation and storyline. Laughed out loud at times. Can’t wait to listen to another one.

LOVED IT!
S MacB back to his best! Brilliant characters & page turning story. Finished it in 3 days! and of course Angus King who I could listen to read a phone directory! (showing my age there!).

Good fun
Another fun read from Stuart McBride with a worthy duo at the lead to step into the shoes of DS Logan McRae and DI Steel.
Some of the plot development was a bit predictable and it was a tad too long & would have benefitted from more editing; however, overall it was really enjoyable with some great news characters I hope we'll see more of.

Some more brilliance from this fantastic writer! I’ve learnt to love and trust Mr McBride to tell me great stories!
I’ve enjoyed every title that this author has released, and I was really looking forward to some new characters in this book which I pre-ordered ages ago! This is a great story, well read, and has the trademark dark humour aplenty. I did think however, it was a little bit long, and The main character felt like someone we didn’t know very well at all.
I would definitely recommend this though!

Brilliant
I loved everything about this book, engaging characters, riotous plot, funny dialogue. I really hope that the two main characters appear in a follow up.
Angus King was his usual wonderful self.

Another triumph by MacBride
Great characters, well written & super narration. What an exciting beginning (hopefully) to a crime fighting partnership.
