Publisher Description
THE TWISTY FOURTH NOVEL AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, FROM THE GRIPPING INSPECTOR MCLEAN SERIES SET IN EDINBURGH
A family lies slaughtered in an isolated house in North East Fife . . .
____________
Morag Weatherly and her two young daughters have been shot by husband Andrew, an influential politician, before he turned the gun on himself.
But what would cause a rich, successful man to snap so suddenly?
For Inspector Tony McLean, this apparently simple but high-profile case leads him into a world of power and privilege. And the deeper he digs, the more he realizes he's being manipulated by shadowy factions.
Under pressure to wrap up the case, McLean instead seeks to uncover layers of truth - putting the lives of everyone he cares about at risk . . .

Customer Reviews
Sod the supernatural
I’ll give it three for the ease of the read, but he’s a good enough writer to ditch all this mystical devil business and come up with a decent, plausible plot. The mixing of genre is just damn irritating. Still, he’s developing the dimensions of his characters in this one. Must try harder!
Dead Men's Bones.
More than a little disappointed with this DI Maclean outing. Repetitive phraseology began to grate and the constant in house bickering within the force spoiled what could have been a good plot. Would have been more enjoyable with a United team all working for the same end.
Dead Men's Bones
Enjoyed the book but found the end disappointing. I obviously didn't quite get it and it left most things that happened in the plot unanswered.
