DCI Jim Daley is charged with murder - and everyone saw him do it - in the gripping new thriller from the bestselling author Denzil Meyrick.

In the middle of the night in Kinloch, the phone rings…

Detective Sergeant Brian Scott answers. It’s a message from his old friend and partner, DCI Jim Daley, which chills him to the bone:

‘She’s dead, Brian. I couldn’t take it anymore – I killed her! You have to help.’

Daley has been arrested for murder, and everyone saw him do it. The police have all the evidence they need to put him behind bars for life, but Scott still believes he’s innocent.

Is someone trying to frame him?

The search for answers takes Daley and Scott on a dark journey into their past, putting the people closest to them in immediate danger. And as the heartbreak takes its toll, Scott begins to wonder if this might be the end of the road.

Is it time to call last orders?

Critic reviews

Another gripping story...makes a fitting end to the series.
A brutally effective closing chapter to the DCI Daley Series… the twists and violence are relentless, all leavened by a streak of coal-black humour.
An entertainingly dark journey fraught with unexpected dangers.
One of Scotland's most prolific and best-loved crime writers.
Praise for Denzil Meyrick
Absorbing . . . no run-of-the-mill tartan noir
You'll have a blast with these
It’s a fun book. One to make you smile.
Whiplash action, grit, gloss and dark humour.
One of Scotland's finest writers in any genre
All stars

The book itself was as excellent and compelling as all the other books in the series. Jim and Brian will be sadly missed. Missed most of all will be the superb author Denzil Meyrick. RIP

A fitting end to such a wonderful creation. Daley and Scott are surely up there with the best detectives.
Not forgetting the wonderful characters of Ella and Hamish and Hamish the cat.
I have read the whole series and then downloaded the audio versions and listened to them all again, such is the mesmerising narration by David Monteath.

RIP Denzil

Such a fantastic book it brings everything a crime thriller should bring to its reader or listener, The story line where you’re not sure where it’s leading so you carry on listening because you want to know, you’re laughing out loud with Brian, then you don’t know who to trust who are the good cops or the bad cops, there are other characters that also make you laugh. But also there are sad deaths unexpected ones especially the last one, I was in shock I didn’t know.
Thank you Denzil for bringing these wonderful characters to us Daley, Brian, Elle, Hamish and many others.
The characters were brought to life by the excellent narration of David Monteath
RIP Denzil you are missed.
