    About this ebook

    Something rotten is happening in the town of Millport, on the island of Cumbrae. Plans are being made, money is being thrown around, an empire is being built… and people are getting murdered. A man has a stiletto thrust into his eye socket, another his windpipe brutally squeezed shut, whilst a kidnapped youth lies curled in a cage, unaware of what it is that lives inside him.

    Meanwhile, at the local barbershop, Barney Thomson lives a quiet life, cutting hair, wishing his customers would stop talking, and happy that he doesn't seem to be involved in the latest horror to be visited upon the town. However, as Barney has known for a long time, you can't always get what you want, particularly when you don't know what it is you want in the first place…

    Douglas Lindsay is the author of over twenty novels, including BALLAD IN BLUE, A ROOM WITH NO NATURAL LIGHT, BEING FOR THE BENEFIT OF MR KITE! and LOST IN JUAREZ, as well as the DS HUTTON and DCI JERICHO crime series. The first book in the BARNEY THOMSON series, THE LONG MIDNIGHT OF BARNEY THOMSON, was released as a motion picture in 2015, starring Robert Carlyle, Emma Thompson and Ray Winstone.

    Three titles in the DI WESTPHALL series will be coming from Mulholland Books in 2019.

    He lives in Somerset, England.
