A macabre ancient secret. An innovative biotech company connected to the highest levels of government. And the trail of bloodshed in its wake.Finally got my Tony McLean fix READER REVIEWDarkly gripping READER REVIEWDo yourself a favour and read James Oswalds series. I can almost guarantee you wont stop at one READER REVIEWDetective Chief Inspector Tony McLean is called to investigate a breakin at Drake BioTech, a trendsetting Edinburgh startup. Its well below McLeans pay grade, but given the extensive political connections of its eccentric owner Nathaniel Drake, he doesnt have a choice. Even if nothing appears to have been stolen.A missing person case turns complicated for DI Janie Harrison when a body is found halfburied in woods outside the city. The missing man shows no signs of trauma, the cause of his death a mystery. But when another man linked to the breakin is discovered dead in similarly mysterious circumstances, the police suspect there may be some connection between the two. McLean is convinced the answer lies with the strange ancient artefact clutched in the second dead mans hands. But when the two bodies are stolen from the mortuary, and the artefact goes missing from evidence, the race is on to prevent yet more death.Praise for James OswaldThe new Ian Rankin Daily RecordCreepy, gritty and gruesome Sunday MirrorOswalds writing is in a class above most Daily Express
