A young man is found hanging by a rope in his Edinburgh home. A simple, sad suicide, yet Detective Inspector Tony McLean is puzzled by the curious suicide note.

So when a second hanged man and another strange note appear, McClean sees a sinister pattern.

Investigating a brutal prostitution and human trafficking ring, McLean struggles to find time to link the two suicides. But the discovery of a third convinces him of malicious intent.

Digging deeper, McLean finds answers something terrifying stalking the city streets.

And it's much closer to home than he expects . . .

MEDIA REVIEWS

The hallmarks of Val McDermid or Ian Rankin: it's dark, violent, noirish - The Herald

Crime fiction's next big thing - The Sunday Telegraph

Literary sensation...James' overnight success has drawn comparisons with the meteoric rise of EL James and her Fifty Shades of Grey series - Daily Mail

Fifty Shades of Hay - The Times

Oswald is among the leaders in the new batch of excellent Scottish crime writers - Daily Mail

The new Ian Rankin - Daily Record

Classy, occasionally brutal, and with the odd suggestion of the supernatural, this will doubtless be another deserved hit. Oswald's writing is in a class above most in this genre and McLean - his rich, idealistic and all-too-human detective - is the perfect counterpoint to Ian Rankin's cynical Inspector Rebus - Daily Express
