Life for a Life

A brutal murder leads a Scottish DCI and his team to human traffickers and a terrifying killer in this crime novel by the author of Tooth for a Tooth.

When a young woman's half-frozen body is found on Fife's Coastal Path, buried in snow and with the remnants of a rope manacle around her wrist, DCI Gilchrist takes the case. But Gilchrist's investigation uncovers a bloody trail of shootings and executions that lead him to the heart of a human trafficking war.
