Heroes and Villains
A totally gripping and addictive Scottish detective mystery thriller
A lying ganglord. A troubled cop. A masked vigilante.
Working a strategic investigation, DS Scott Cullen of Police Scotland’s Edinburgh Major Investigation Team closes in on a long-time adversary.
Dean Vardy, Edinburgh’s latest kingpin.
Before, every time they thought they had him, his lawyer got him off. Campbell McLintock, another of Cullen’s adversaries.
But this time Vardy goes too far, murdering someone under his control.
Or does he?
After a witness dies, Cullen is soon desperately trying to hold the case together, with Vardy’s conviction dangling by a thread. Will McLintock get Vardy off yet again?
But soon, Cullen and his team are facing a different threat — a brutal vigilante, doling out frontier justice and obeying no laws. Can Cullen catch a killer who could be one of their own?
