About this ebook
The wages of sin is death.
The partial collapse of a disused Edinburgh church reveals a dead body in the rubble, his head badly smashed by falling masonry. Soon identified as an old ex-con - Kenny Morgan - his death is put down to a heart attack and deemed non-suspicious.
Tony McLean is approached by a notorious crime lord who suggests the police should be looking into Morgan's death more closely. Despite struggling with his recent retirement, he is reluctant to involve himself.
But when a second man is found dead in another disused church, his forehead branded with a cross, this time it is clearly murder.
There's a killer stalking the streets of Edinburgh. Is it time for McLean to get back to doing what he does best?

i was excited at this books release..this series is one of my favourites however i found the story disappointing and drab..none of the atmosphere and build up of the earlier books.. even the supernatural elements that bring such a unique cast to the series seemed tacked on and lacking..the whole story felt formulaic and a bit tired.

Thrilling new Inspector McClean novel. Janie Harrison is promoted to Acting Detective Inspector. A body is found in an old church soon there's more. Tony McClean has left the force to look after his partner, can Harrison step up? Love the McClean series and this is no exception. Plenty of twists along the way. Thanks to Headline and Netgalley for a review copy.
