The Blood Tide - DS Max Craigie Scottish Crime Thrillers Book 2 (Paperback)
Neil Lancaster (author)Published: 23/06/2022

One of the rising stars of Tartan Noir delivers another compulsive case for DS Max Craigie as a series of seemingly unconnected crimes embroil the maverick detective in a deadly dilemma.
You get away with murder.
In a remote sea loch on the west coast of Scotland, a fisherman vanishes without trace. His remains are never found.
You make people disappear.
A young man jumps from a bridge in Glasgow and falls to his death in the water below. DS Max Craigie uncovers evidence that links both victims. But if he can't find out what cost them their lives, it won't be long before more bodies turn up at the morgue...
You come back for revenge.
Soon cracks start to appear in the investigation, and Max's past hurtles back to haunt him. When his loved ones are threatened, he faces a terrifying choice: let the only man he ever feared walk free, or watch his closest friend die...
Max, Janie and Ross return in the second gripping novel in this explosive Scottish crime series.
