Produktbeschreibung

The third J McNee mystery finds the Dundonian detective forced to co-operate with an old nemesis when his mentor is murdered, in a terrifying conspiracy that will change McNee's world forever...

DC Ernie Bright is dead. A good cop gone bad? Not everyone believes that one of Tayside Constabulary's longest serving detectives was leading a double life.

One of those looking to vindicate the dead copper is Bright's protege, private investigator J McNee, who has his own reasons for trying to prove Bright's innocence.

But as the evidence piles up and McNee makes enemies on both sides of the law, he finds that justice and the law are not always the same, and that good people can make bad decisions.

Dark, violent and psychologically gripping, the third in the critically acclaimed J McNee series will change the Dundee detective's world forever.

This edition is the author's preferred text, revised and updated in 2020 with a new introduction by the author.

Praise for Russel D McLean and Father Confessor

"Carving out a place for himself in the blossoming world of Scottish crime writing, McLean writes with bite and casts Dundee in a light that suits this type of thriller in which trust and loyalty are very slippery concepts." The Herald (arts magazine, 22 September 2012)

"McLean has created a sympathetic yet flawed character who tries to do the right thing and sometimes hits the mark but, more often than not, doesn't (as he comments himself, 'so many people I knew seemed to wind up dead'). Loyalties count in his world; loyalty to friends and more particularly to family. If you're after a dark slice of Dundee noir then you can't go far wrong with this" Shots Magazine

"...grabs you by the throat... and doesn't let go until you reach the climax." Undiscovered Scotland

"[McNee is] a complex, contradictory character... there's enough darkness in him to run a good while yet." Crime Fiction Lover

Autorenporträt

Russel D McLean was born in Fife, and moved to Dundee where he studied philosophy at the University of Dundee. His speciality was philosophy of mind, but after he discovered the difficulty of funding a PhD he fell into the disreputable company of the booktrade. Russel's path to publication started at sixteen when he submitted his first full length novel to Virgin Publishing New Doctor Who Adventures. The novel was summarily rejected and he spent the next fourteen years perfecting his style before finally switching genres and writing dark crime fiction. His first paid credit was in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine in 2004 and his first novel, THE GOOD SON, was released in 2008. He has since been published in the US, translated into Italian, French and German, and was nominated for best first PI novel by the Private Eye Writers of America. He spent over a decade as a bookseller in Dundee and Glasgow, writing at night. Now he spends his days working as a development editor for various publishers, large and small, on a freelance basis, and his nights continuing to write fiction and screenplays. ​In 2018, he was part of the Write4film initiative from the Scottish Film Talent Network, which helps writers from other forms to learn about screenwriting. He is currently working on various projects intended for the screen. For two years (2014-16) he wrote a monthly crime fiction column for the Scottish Herald. ​And yes, he really did once share a flat with a cursed mask.
