Hunter by name – Hunter by nature. Can DI Hunter Wilson keep Edinburgh safe when he is the hunted?
 
Detective Inspector Hunter Wilson is woken in the early hours of the morning by a call from his son. Cameron’s flatmate has been murdered.

Why would anybody want to kill a young woman recently arrived in the city?

Hunter must call in the new Major Incident Team (MIT), however his ability to be involved in the case is severely compromised when someone from his past resurfaces with revenge on their mind
 
When Hunter goes missing, and his team struggle to find the clues they need to locate him. Who would want to stop Hunter in his tracks?
 
Meanwhile, Hunter’s team must also work closely with the MIT and with or without him, solve the murder in this taut crime thriller.

My Review

The team is back! DI Hunter Wilson is at the helm and still in a relationship with pathologist Meera. Tim ‘young Myerscough’ is dating Gillian, a linguist at the university, who has a green flash in her hair. Bear and Mel are still together, while Jane has relocated to MIT, but is still with Rachael.

Ian Thompson is out of ‘the big house’ (prison to you and me) on parole, but Tim’s dad, the former Chief Constable Sir Peter Myerscough is still in residence. As is Arjun Mansoor, yet another villain from book one. Jamie Thompson is still around being an idiot, as is his cousin Frankie. Keep up! I’m trying really hard to.

In the meantime Hunter’s son Cameron has a nice flat, which comes with his job as driver to wealthy ‘Lucky’ Buchanon. So far so good. Until Cameron is out one night and returns to his flat with some mates to find a dead girl, his flatmate, her face smashed in and her fingertips removed.

And so it begins. Who is she? Who killed her and why? And what is the connection to the university where Gillian works, a dodgy massage parlour and two new betting shops?

Everything appears to be connected in this story. Hunter is being hunted. Someone from his past is out to exact revenge with the help of a hired muscle man, who is connected to both the victim and Thompson. And there is also a link to Eastern European prostitutes.

It’s all very complicated and fast-paced – it’s a real page-turner. So glad there is plenty more to come.

Many thanks to @zooloo2008 for inviting me to be part of this blog tour.
