What you need to know before your trail

Six years ago, Beata Dabrowski arranged to meet her lover in Glasgow and was never seen again. There were no leads… until now.

Imprisoned gang boss Davie Hardie wants to talk in exchange for his freedom. He knows exactly where Beata is buried, and he’s prepared to take the police to her grave.

But when the mission to locate Beata’s body is hijacked, DS Max Craigie is drafted on to the case. Someone is selling secrets.

Max will stop at nothing to expose police corruption and uncover Beata’s murderer… but can you ever really trust a killer to catch a killer?

Travel Guide

From Culross to Glasgow

Neil says:

“Now, I’m a Scottish based crime writer, who writes about a Scottish detective in Scotland, but unlike my contemporaries, I don’t like to limit myself to one city, such as Ian Rankin’s Edinburgh. Scotland is a huge, florid canvas, with locations as diverse, and beautiful as anywhere else in the world, so I want to lean into this, and try my best to show it all off, from the wild mountains, to the grimy cities. They all have their own characteristics, beauty and ugliness, and they can all add to any story.

I view Scotland to be a character in its own right, and it sits at the heart of every book I write.”
