2000s: In a famous Scottish town, someone is bent on murder – but why?
On the night of a wedding celebration, one guest meets a grisly end when he’s killed in a hit-and-run. A card bearing the number ‘5’ has been placed on the victim’s chest. DI Clare Mackay, who recently moved from Glasgow to join the St Andrews force, leads the investigation. The following night another victim is struck down and a number ‘4’ card is at the scene. Clare and her team realise they’re against the clock to find a killer stalking the streets of the picturesque Scottish town and bent on carrying out three more murders.
To prevent further deaths, the police have to uncover the link between the victims. But those involved have a lot more at stake than first meets the eye. If Clare wants to solve the case she must face her own past and discover the deepest secrets of the victims – and the killer.
St Andrews
This wasn’t Glasgow , with its busy Major Investigations teams to hand, Glasgow where experienced detectives were ten a penny. This was St Andrews – a small seaside town known for being the home of golf, its population swollen by the students who studied at its centuries -old university.
St Andrews police
Clare is the most senior officer stationed in the town and is often in sole charge of what is going on around her. She’s only moved here from Glasgow two months prior o the events in the book and ‘it felt like a lonely place to be.”
But she does have a favorite part of the town:
“The historic West Port which is the gateway that led to bustling South Street, and runs from the West Port to the ancient St Rule’s Tower.”
