The Turning of our Bones

DI Rob Marshall #1 / 9
by Ed James
The Turning of our Bones (DI Rob Marshall #1) by Ed James
Unrated

The killer is dead. His last victim isn’t.

Two years after the Chameleon shot DI Rob Marshall’s partner and vanished, his body turns up, dragging Marshall back home to Melrose in the Scottish Borders and a tragedy he’s avoided for twenty years.

Worse, one victim is still missing and she’s running out of time.

The Chameleon lived by stolen identities. To find the final victim, Rob must unpick the one the killer wore last, by following a trail through tight-knit towns, old grudges and the trauma Marshall left behind in Melrose. As pressure mounts and the past closes in, he’ll risk everything to bring her home alive.

The Turning of Our Bones launches the DI Rob Marshall series: a haunted, sharp-tongued detective in a dark, propulsive Scottish crime thriller. Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Stuart MacBride, JD Kirk and LJ Ross.
