About this ebook
A St. Andrews golf course is the site of a grisly discovery in this Scottish crime thriller.
Murder. It’s the only word in a note clutched by the dismembered hand found on the lush green of a golf course in St. Andrews, Scotland. When DCI Andy Gilchrist learns the note is addressed to him, he realizes the thing he feared most has come to pass: A killer is deliberately targeting him.
Though Gilchrist has plenty of experience solving murders, this time he’s overwhelmed by a flood of seemingly unconnected crises—not only the note found in the victim’s hand, but his son’s missing girlfriend, his ex-wife’s failing health, and his boss’s decision to pair Gilchrist up with a sleazy detective from his past. Worse, the hand turns out to be just the beginning, and soon he’s faced with relentless parade of body parts . . .

Thirty-plus years of living and working overseas helped him appreciate the raw beauty of his home country. Now a dual US/UK citizen, Muir makes his home in the outskirts of Glasgow, Scotland, from where he visits St. Andrews regularly to research in the town’s many pubs and restaurants.
