A youth is found dead at a children’s playpark. A stolen car burnt out with the joyriders inside. Can Macleod discover the avenging angel brutally restoring the highland’s peace and quiet?
When a spate of deaths indicating teenagers as targets sends Macleod and McGrath into a very public hunt for killer, they must walk in view of the hottest debate of the day. But when Hope believes she sees an angle that points the blame at those who responsible for the nation’s safety, Macleod must trust his Sergeant’s instincts while dodging a career ending bullet.
However, I seem to have missed some good explanation for all the chaos. A sentence or two is not sufficient, seemed improbable.. Gave it a lower rating for that reason.
Set in Inverness. Gangs from two council estates appear to be at war. In one night 5 young people dead in two separate incidents. Macleod's DCI wants a public campaign with Seoras as the figurehead. He protests, that is not his job. His is finding out who is responsible for the murders.
Besides, he and his team are not convinced that gang conflict is the root of the problem. The weapons being used, including a grenade, are too sophisticated.
This is the first book that I have read by this author but it will not be the last. Great characters, an even greater story line and a book that kept me gripped from start to finish.Looking forward to reading more.
A good story line and unfortunately some people will identify with this sort of behaviour. however, couldn’t put it down, brilliantly written. Well worth a recommendation.
