About this listen
'A true rising star of crime fiction' Ian Rankin
'Wonderfully grisly and grim, and a cracking pace' James Oswald
'A frantic, pacy read with a compelling hero' Steve Cavanagh
War is coming to No-Man's Land, and Connor Fraser will be ready.
A mutilated body is found dumped at Cowane's Hospital in the heart of historic Stirling. For DCI Malcolm Ford it's like nothing he's ever seen before, the savagery of the crime makes him want to catch the murderer before he strikes again. For reporter Donna Blake it's a shot at the big time, a chance to get her career back on track and prove all the doubters wrong. But for close protection specialist Connor Fraser it's merely a grisly distraction from the day job.
But then another bloodied and broken corpse is found, this time in the shadow of the Wallace Monument - and with it, a message. One Connor has received before, during his time as a police officer in Belfast.
With Ford facing mounting political and public pressure to make an arrest and quell fears the murders are somehow connected to heightened post-Brexit tensions, Connor is drawn into a race against time to stop another murder. But to do so, he must question old loyalties, confront his past and unravel a mystery that some would sacrifice anything - and anyone - to protect.
From Dundee International Book Prize and Bloody Scotland book of the year nominee Neil Broadfoot comes the first gripping thriller in the white-knuckle Connor Fraser crime series.

Loved This
It may jump about a bit from character to character but trust me just stick with it. Great story, once I got used to the different characters it got easier to follow. Loved the fact that it took place in my home city of Stirling
Added bonus is Angus King narrates.

Fabulous narration
If Angus King hadn’t been narrating this book would I have listened to it? No.
Very muddled in places and the characters were easy to dislike or not engage with. Connor seems to be a bit of a Jack Reacher or Orphan X at times but eventually I warmed to him. Maybe not being a Scot made it difficult to understand the huge antipathy towards England and the linking of Scottish nationalists to cells and terrorist training camps seemed far fetched - but perhaps that’s a true fact?
I’ve decided to give the second in the series a go just to see if this first one is setting the scene for developing Connor’s character. And, of course, to listen to Angus King.

Just a bit disappointed
Plot seemed to get lost in the details of the interpersonal relationships of the characters.

Great story if a bit gruesome
I enjoyed this story very much and all the characters were narrated really well by Angus King
I’ve listened to loads of books he has narrated
I’m just about to start the next one in this series I’m sure it will be just as good 😊

Confused feelings
I chose this book mostly because I love Angus King and i have just finished reading JD Kirk's Jack Logan series (Loved it!!). I'm trying to find smth similar and thought I'd give this a chance. I haven't finished listening to the book but so far I find that the plot is a bit all over the place and I'm having a hard time following the storyline. It jumps too fast between the characters and i have to pause and close my eyes trying to remember which character we're onto now.
The narration, however, is excellent. I thoroughly enjoy Angus King's different voices and his lovely Scottish accent (which is an accent I have only just discovered).

Ambulatory
A muddled plot, characters I couldn't engage with and more an amble in the park than a fast paced thriller.
Nevertheless, I finished it. I think I have been spoiled with Rankin and Oswald, but everyone has to start somewhere!
Nevertheless, the narrator was brilliant and will look out for him!

Brilliant story read by my favourite narrator
I only found this story when i was searching books read by Angus King as i absolutely love his voice. He is by far, the best narrator.
This book is a brilliant crime thriller witj excellent & believable characters. Not once did it become boring. I shall now binge listen the rest of the series!

Good Story but a little confusing
I had to keep rewinding to see if I missed something as it didn't flow well. There are a lot of characters, and it's not always easy to work out the connections or who is the lead character. Angus King is the king of narration, and in all honesty, he could make the shipping forecast exciting! Maybe this book is just setting out the groundwork for future installments, so I'll listen to the next in the series as I find they often get better the more involved/attached you become to the characters.
