À propos de l'auteur

Born in Glasgow and now a dual UK/US citizen, T.F. Muir is the author of the DCI Andy Gilchrist series - the first of which, Eye For An Eye, won the Pitlochry Award for the best crime novel by an unpublished writer, and the second, Hand For A Hand, continues to garner great reviews.

He is now working on his next Gilchrist novel, another story suffused with dark alleyways, cobbled streets and all things gruesome.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Past crimes never really fade from memory . . .

When Thomas Magner’s business partner is found dead in his own car on the outskirts of Anstruther, all evidence points to suicide. Meanwhile, Magner himself, a wealthy property developer, is under investigation for a series of alleged rapes from thirty years ago. In total fifteen women are prepared to go to court to testify against Magner, but one by one they withdraw their complaints without explanation until only five remain. With the CPS now reconsidering its case, one of Magner’s accusers is killed in a hit-and-run. The car used in the crime is discovered abandoned – and registered to one T Magner.

DCI Andy Gilchrist is assigned to the hit-and-run case and soon discovers that Magner’s murky past is very much seeping into the present. How did he acquire his wealth? How did his first wife die? And why did his business partner commit suicide?

And was Magner a serial rapist in his youth? Or was he something far worse . . .




‘Rebus did it for Edinburgh. Laidlaw did it for Glasgow. Gilchrist might just be the bloke to put St Andrews on the crime fiction map.’
