Everyone deserves a second chance.

Richard Knox has served his time, so why shouldn’t he be allowed to live wherever he wants? Yes, in the past he was a violent rapist, but he’s seen the error of his ways. Found God. Wants to leave his dark past in Newcastle behind him and make a new start. Or so he says.
Detective Sergeant Logan McRae isn’t exactly thrilled to be part of the team helping Knox settle into his new Aberdeen home. He’s even less thrilled to be stuck with DSI Danby from Northumbria Police – the man who put Knox behind bars for ten years – supposedly here to ‘keep an eye on things’.

Only things are about to go very, very wrong.

Edinburgh gangster Malk the Knife wants a slice of the development boom Donald Trump’s golf course is bringing to the Granite City, whether local crime lord Wee Hamish Mowat likes it or not. Three heavies from Newcastle want a ‘quiet word’ with DSI Danby about a missing mob accountant. And Richard Knox’s dark past isn’t done with him yet…

The usual gripping, gory, yet still funny, read I've come to expect & love from MacBride. My only criticism is that, DI Steel, that I so loved in "Blind Eye" really began to get on my nerves! She's in danger of becoming a caricature if her over-the-top actions carry on this way.In my opinion that would be a great shame & I hope in the next book (already waiting on my TBR!) she's toned down a bit....maybe motherhood will do it for her :o)
