McMORRAN'S RETURN


What is the connection between the ritual slaughter of sheep on the Isle of Arran and a series of gruesome murders on the mainland? Apparently nothing, until recently demoted DC McMorran stumbles over the body of a pensioner and once again finds himself embroiled in an investigation that threatens what little is left of his crumbling career.


As the Fangman's victims continue to fall in this thrilling sequel to Nobody's Fool, two key questions remain uppermost in McMorran's mind—who is sending him cryptic readings from the ancient Chinese Book of Changes, and why? The answers, he knows, might just save his life.

"Provocatively fresh... the dialogue is solid, the plot effective, and the search for a psychotic killer exciting."
The New York Sun

"Pacy and full of action..."
The Liverpool Daily Post

"Suspense and conflict rise to an almost unbearable pitch..."
South Hams Newspapers
