A good solid crime story with some well defined and strong characters. DSI William Lorimer head of the Major Incident Team (MIT) is investigating some local murders when intelligence reaches him, from counter terrorism, that an atrocity is planned somewhere in the good city of Glascow on Xmas eve. To complicate matters there are rumours that information is being leaked to terrorist organisations from someone within Police Scotland. He is in desperate need of assistance and this comes from the most unlikely source Inspector Daniel Kohi late of the Zimbabwean police who finds himself alone in a strange city with an even stranger dialect! Koki has a past to forget and with the friendship of Lorimer and the support of his strange neighbour Netta he begins to live again….” Ye goat a name , son? Pardon? Daniel frowned. Goats? What did goats have to do with anything? Goat a name? Netta repeated, poking his arm. Ah cannae jist ca ye Mr Zimbabwe, can ah, noo?”......
The tension and snappy dialect combine to create a very enjoyable read. Many thanks to the good people at netgalley for a gratis copy in exchange for an honest review and that is what I have written.
