Maverick investigator Dominic Queste is on the trail of missing butcher Sam Price. But he soon uncovers links to a killer with a taste for games. What began as a simple favour for his girlfriend quickly descends into a battle for survival against an enemy who has no qualms about turning victims into prime cuts. Amidst a twisted game of cat and mouse, suspicious coppers, vicious crooks and a seemingly random burglary, Queste has to keep his wits about him. Or he might just find himself on the butcher’s block.
Douglas Skelton, shortlisted for Scottish Crime Book of the Year 2016 and longlisted for the McIlvanney Prize in 2019, is a writer who specialises in the darker side of things: he’s a former journalist who published eleven true crime books before turning to crime fiction. His thrillers and detective novels began with the hugely successful series of Davie McCall thrillers and continued with the Dominic Queste series: The Dead Don’t Boogie and Tag – You’re Dead. He has since written the fast-paced standalone New York City mob thriller The Janus Run and several titles in the popular Rebecca Connolly series.
