It's hard to live when you think you deserve to die... When a tired
old inmate is found dead in his cell, the prison is obligated to
investigate and so DI Barton attends. The men he interviews have
been convicted of some of the worst things a human being can do,
but it appears likely that the death was due to natural causes.
When the house of the dead man is burgled and that crime is
followed by a suspicious fire, Barton desperately needs to speak to
his widow, but she's nowhere to be found. In the space of
twenty-four hours, everyone he wants to talk to has vanished. Then
he receives some post which makes him believe he could be the next
to disappear. Barton's investigation goes full circle, through a
series of brutal murders, back to the prison, and all signs are
pointing to the fact that he's made a terrible mistake. There's a
violent killer on the loose, who wants everyone to learn that some
people deserve to die. DI Barton is back as Ross Greenwood
continues with his bestselling series, perfect for fans of Mark
Billingham and Ian Rankin. Praise for Ross Greenwood: 'Move over
Rebus and Morse; a new entry has joined the list of great crime
investigators in the form of Detective Inspector John Barton. A
rich cast of characters and an explosive plot kept me turning the
pages until the final dramatic twist.' author Richard Burke 'Master
of the psychological thriller genre Ross Greenwood once again
proves his talent for creating engrossing and gritty novels that
draw you right in and won't let go until you've reached the
shocking ending.' Caroline Vincent at Bitsaboutbooks blog 'Ross
Greenwood doesn't write cliches. What he has written here is a
fast-paced, action-filled puzzle with believable characters that's
spiced with a lot of humour.' author Kath Middleton

When Private Investigator Charlie Cameron agrees to take on a cold
case, he is drawn back into Glasgow's dark underworld...Glasgow PI
Charlie Cameron knows Kim Rafferty is bad news the moment they
