About this listen

Discover the BRAND NEW gripping Scottish crime series, from the author of the bestselling DCI James Craig series, John Carson. An absolute must-read for fans of Andrew Raymond and JD Kirk!

'A twisty, tartan-clad cracker laced with dark humour.' Bestselling crime author Ross Greenwood

Some bodies just won't stay buried...

After putting a stop to one of Edinburgh’s most notorious serial killers 3 years ago, DCI Liam Brodie is known as a man who can handle - and solve - the hardest of cases. But when he’s assigned to Fife’s Major Investigations Team, he soon realises that he’s walking into a minefield. The previous DCI is missing, presumed dead, and the case he’s been called in to lead becomes dangerously close to home.

When a child’s bones are unearthed beneath the floorboards of an old house in Fife - the same house where his girlfriend, psychologist Ruth Campbell, grew up as a foster daughter - Brodie uncovers a tangled web of lies and jealousy. Ruth’s foster mother, now gripped by dementia, holds fragments of the truth but in a community haunted by its history, Brodie must navigate betrayal and buried guilt to bring a decades-old secret to light.

But at what cost to those he loves most?

Don't miss this explosive start to a brand new series from Scottish crime writer John Carson!

Angus as a narrator was as outstanding as ever, I stuck with it until the end but it just didn’t work, guessed the ending half way through. Don’t waste your credit.

Constantly confused
