"Memories from a dark past return to haunt DCI Jim Daley and the Kinloch residents in this intricate crime thriller that crackles with wit and intrigue."
It’s been a rollercoaster of a decade for DCI Jim Daley. Fresh from the mean streets of Glasgow, he arrived in the fishing community of Kinloch on Scotland’s west coast to investigate the washed-up body of a young woman 10 years ago. Thankfully for fans of Denzil Meyrick’s bestselling detective, the drama and body count in this small corner of the world isn’t showing any sign of slowing! Violence, prejudice, deceit and corruption bubble under the surface of this latest outing for Daley and less-than-sober sidekick, Brian Scott. Life in gangland Glasgow may seem a lifetime ago for the unorthodox duo, but the discovery of a fisherman’s body on the shoreline and the reappearance of a notorious criminal force them both to relive events from their murky past. Meyrick’s storytelling skills are second to none, weaving together a narrative that spans time and location without dropping an inch of suspense along the way. And what a compelling cast of characters that come out to play in this special anniversary novel! From mystic old Hamish to the most brutal of Glasgow criminals, Meyrick treats each with just the right touch to ensure authenticity. His use of Scots dialogue is gritty and hilarious in equal measure, with Brian Scott’s turn of phrase the real star of the show. The Death of Remembrance is a compelling novel from one of Scotland’s favourite writers – expect high drama…and high praise.
