Fire in the Blood
Twenty years in the cask. Now the past won’t stay buried.
At a distillery deep in Midlothian countryside near Dalkeith, a master blender cracks open a cask laid down twenty years ago.
Inside is more than whisky.
The mangled corpse has no ID. No easy answers. And nobody else in CID wants the case.
DC Scott Cullen is used to being sidelined by his arrogant boss, DI Bain – but now he’s lead on a murder buried decades deep. Two distillery workers vanished within weeks of each other, just as the barrel was sealed. As Cullen digs into a past soaked in rivalry and rumour, he’s forced to untangle decades of silence from a family that’s not telling everything.
Now it’s Cullen’s job to find out who the body belongs to – and whether the killer is still around to strike again.
Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Stuart McBride, Alex Smith and JD Kirk, Fire in the Blood continues the bestselling Police Scotland series.
