Publisher's Summary

He’ll watch you.
A lawyer is found dead at sunrise on a lonely clifftop at Dunnet Head on the northernmost tip of Scotland. It was supposed to be his honeymoon, but now his wife will never see him again.

He’ll hunt you.
The case is linked to several mysterious deaths, including the murder of the lawyer’s last client – Scotland’s most notorious criminal… who had just walked free. DS Max Craigie knows this can only mean one thing: they have a vigilante serial killer on their hands.

He’ll leave you to die.
But this time the killer isn’t on the run; he’s on the investigation team. And the rules are different when the murderer is this close to home.

He knows their weaknesses, knows how to stay hidden, and he thinks he’s above the law…

Max, Janie and Ross return in this gripping novel in the explosive Scottish crime series. Fans of Ian Rankin, Stuart MacBride and Marion Todd will love The Night Watch!

What the critics say

"Grabbed me from the first page...think Jack Reacher fronting Line of Duty." (Ian Rankin)

"Genuinely gripping, a total page-turner and one of my favourite reads of the year." (Matt Nixon, Daily Express)

"The best police procedural I've read in years - fast-paced, compelling and deeply authentic. DS Max Craigie is a brilliant hero and I can't wait for the next in the series." (Jane Casey)

Best one yet

I’ve enjoyed this series that was introduced to me when looking for books narrated by Angus King. The night watch is a page turner for sure. A good pace and strong characters all brought to life by the outstanding narration. A twist at the end that is a definite surprise.

ANOTHER GREAT BOOK

Once again Neil Lancaster has hit it out of the park. As the third installment of the Max Craigie police procedural series, this book keeps up the high standard we have come to expect with this author. This story is well written and has all the elements that make a mystery such as this, the perfect listen. Angus King, as narrator, is in top form. 5 plus stars. Definitely recommend. Looking forward to the next book.
