Cover:
A bitterly cold February in Glasgow. Hanging from a rope in the attic of a deserted tenement is the body of a criminal who have been hiding out on the Costa del Sol these last ten years. His face has been hideously disfigured.
Investigating officers DI Anderson and DS Costello believe the dead man to be a suspect in a decade-old case: the rape and attempted murder of a young student by two men. And there are other, similar cases on file. But what has happened to the dead man’s accomplice, ‘Mr Click’?
Then with the discovery of another young woman who has been brutally attacked, detectives Anderson and Costello realize that this terrifying psychopath has started working once more. They must use every trick in the book to stop him. For Mr Click has developed a taste for killing. And to satisfy his lust he will kill again and again…

Thanks for this in my Halloween package.
Sent to, and has arrived with, another ‘Crime Fiction set in Scotland’ fan. My original plan, inclusion in a SUMMER SUN READS parcel, was altered in favour of sending this as a Halloween Read! Couldn’t resist – HAPPY TRAVELS BOOK!
Oh boy, did this shift and turn, squeal and squirm around the central core. A dance macabre around a convoluted plot with avenues closed and turnings abruptly halted. As you may be able to tell, I did enjoy this book and found the ending curiously satisfying and all despite the violence!
There is no requirement to know of the setting for this, in fact, nothing Scottish that can be put a finger on other than the setting, so no fears for those not Scottish to be confused.
No plans for this at present but thoughts are forming for this.
I had thought to add this to my Crime / Mystery bookbox but in the end I had far too many books and this was one of those removed to keep the weight within reason.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Happy travels little book.
While I sussed out who Mr Click was very early on there were still one or two revelations & events that left me reeling. One at least, doesn't seem too credible on reflection but fit the story well & left me wondering how things for one character will move on & I'll be adding book 4 to my wishlist asap.
Overall a really good read -although maybe a tad overlong - & one which can easily be enjoyed without having read the previous two.
