A Maxim Jakubowski selected title.

Scottish farmer and writer James Oswald is definitely prolific, to say the least, as this is already his seventh Detective Inspector Tony McLean case (and in addition has also written four fantasy sagas) since his first appearance in Natural Causes in 2012. A body is found impaled and tortured in the trees in an Edinburgh park which appears to have been dropped from a great height. Accident or a murder with a message as the victim happens to be a disgraced ex-cop? The tenacious McLean is an obstinate sod and ploughs his way through the investigation despite cuts in budget, in house pressures and the general desire to see the case wrapped up without too much of a fuss and forgotten fast. Atmospheric, with Oswald's trademark hints of the supernatural and elegantly written, with a clever series of twists and red herrings peppering the investigation at regular intervals make for a most pleasing read. Oswald is fast becoming one of Scottish crime's most reliable authors. ~ Maxim Jakubowski
