About this listen
The gripping new thriller in the Sunday Times-bestselling phenomenon that is the Inspector McLean series, from one of Scotland's most celebrated crime writers
A macabre ancient artefact. An innovative biotech company connected to the highest levels of government. And the trail of bloodshed in its wake.
Detective Chief Inspector Tony McLean is called to investigate a break-in at Drake BioTech, a trendsetting Edinburgh start-up. It's well below McLean's pay grade, but given the extensive political connections of its eccentric owner Nathaniel Drake, he doesn't have a choice. Even if nothing appears to have been stolen.
A missing person case turns complicated for DI Janie Harrison when a body is found half-buried in woods outside the city. The missing man shows no signs of trauma, the cause of his death a mystery. But when another man - linked to the break-in - is discovered dead in similarly mysterious circumstances, the police suspect there may be some connection between the two.
McLean is convinced the answer lies with the strange ancient artefact clutched in the second dead man's hands. But when the two bodies are stolen from the mortuary, and the artefact goes missing from evidence, the race is on to prevent yet more death.

Another great story
What's not to love about Tony and the team! Not many authors could combine ancient ritual and the cost of living crisis in the same seamless story and keep us listeners captivated for 14 books. My second of the McLean books was a reluctant purchase thinking it's going to get silly, but safe to say I've enjoyed every one of James's books.. If you ever told my one of my favourite literary characters was going to be a transvestite fortune teller, I'd never believe you.
I would love to see a small screen interpretation of this series of books - I think if it was made right it could be one of the best modern detective shows out there.

Plot has some unexpected twists and turns
This continues the quality of J Oswald books. The plot, while visiting many of the familiar characters, has some unique and unexpected twists. I enjoyed it from cover to cover….which wasn’t easy because I had the audiobook! The reader does a great job of presenting the story.

Great characterisation.
Left wanting more and already missing characters that feel like friends. Perfect narration too. A great mixture of detective work and the supernatural without creating disbelief. Ready for the next adventure. Here I come…

Another Cracker!
Great hearing all the stories of the characters again,including the cats! Ian Hanmore brings them to life perfectly. The only problem I have is that I enjoy them that much I finish it far too quickly! Thanks for sharing another good story and here’s to the next one!
