THE YEAR 'Truly difficult to put down' Daily Mail 'High-concept

gripping' Scotsman 'Devilishly clever . . . This might be his best
yet' SJI Holliday , author of Violet 'Perfect for fans of Thirteen
by Steve Cavanagh' Reader review ONLY ONE PERSON CAN SAVE YOU. AND
HE WANTS YOU DEAD. Police find a man dead at his home in Los
Angeles. Nothing suggests foul-play but elements of the victim's
house show that something is deeply wrong. Meanwhile, in Glasgow,
DI Rachel Narey is searching for a missing young woman - and the
man she suspects of killing her. When a feed broadcasting the slow
and painful death of a final victim is discovered, these two cases
become linked. There's no way to identify him. No way to find him
No way to save him. Not without the cooperation of a killer. And
the only way he will cooperate is if he can watch him die. Praise
for Craig Robertson: 'Robertson does something bold with this one,
adding a storyline set in America, and he pulls it off
magnificently . . . The links to real murders from history, most
notably The Black Dahlia case, are soon brought to the fore and the
investigation's relevance to Narey's own search for a missing woman
in Glasgow is made apparent via some skillful plotting' Spectator
'Packed full of tension, Watch Him Die is a brilliantly unnerving
read - an original premise with a devilishly clever execution, the
story unfolds with expert precision. I flew through the pages, sick
with dread. An excellent thriller from a crime stalwart - in fact,
this might be his best yet' SJI Holliday, author of Violet
'Robertson, a maestro of Tartan noir, twins a dogged Glasgow
detective with her counterparts in Los Angeles, but can this
formidable team find a psycho killer who seems to leave no trace?
High-concept plot keeps the 'tecs and the reader on their toes'
Sunday Times, Crime Club 'Exceptionally talented . . . Robertson's
skill in matching the atmosphere of LA with that of Scotland is
mightily impressive, as is his ability to maintain the suspense
that lies at the heart of the search for a dying man. This is truly
difficult to put down' Daily Mail 'Robertson is a master
storyteller - sensitive, realistic, terrifying and humorous - and
Watch Him Die is never less than gripping' The Scotsman
'Robertson's latest criminal masterpiece . . . a thoroughly modern,
breathless thriller that not only showcases the writer's broad
spectrum of talents. Plenty for fans to get on board with here and
a fantastic introduction to one of Scotland's premier crime
writers' Scottish Sun 'Brilliantly and sensitively written' Steve
Cavanagh, bestselling author of Thirteen 'Craig Robertson's Narey
and Winter series goes from strength to strength, and this latest
instalment is the most compelling. Brace yourself to be horrified
and hooked' Eva Dolan 'I can't recommend this book highly enough'
Martina Cole 'Fantastic characterisation, great plotting,
page-turning and gripping. The best kind of intelligent and moving
crime fiction writing' Luca Veste 'Powerfully and stylishly
written. Recommended' Steve Mosby
