Summary

The Sanctuary of Shadows

A policeman trapped. A town of secrets. A killer in their midst.

Detective Constable Edward Reekie thought it was a simple task: escort a dying prisoner from HMP Grampian to a peaceful final home. Glenfarach, a snow-dusted village nestled in the Cairngorms, appears tranquil, but appearances can be deceiving.

Critics Review

‘Often very funny and concludes with a glorious twist’ * The Times *MacBride is one of this country’s finest crime writers, but he is no exponent of ‘cosy’ crime, as he demonstrates here with this fierce, dark tale of a young detective delivering a prisoner to a village in the Scottish Highlands to spend his last days… Written in MacBride’s familiar tongue-in-cheek style, it fizzes from every page * Daily Mail *A tale with genuine jeopardy that is also sheer entertainment. It’s a high wire balancing act, but MacBride never falters * Scotland on Sunday *Not your usual crime story, this is a darkly funny Fawlty Towers * Sun *A classic, twisty thriller * i Paper *
