A party to remember. A murder no one will forget. One shot changed everything. At a lively springtime celebration in a Scottish castle, music mogul Mitch Hindley raises a glass to his band's latest album. Champagne sparkles, the poolside crowd buzzes with energy - and then a single gunshot brings the festivities to a screeching halt. Hindley is dead. Enter DCI Suzanna McLeod - the great-great-niece of Sherlock Holmes - who finds the sniper had taken his shot from a mile away. This was a crime few people could commit. Her job to uncover the motive for his assassination and find out which highly skilled specialist pulled the trigger. As Suzanna looks into Hindley's background she finds he wasn't just a music icon - he was a manipulator, a tyrant, a predator. Digging deeper into his life, she uncovers a trail of exploitation and abuse, and a long list of people who might have wanted him gone. And she wonders if the shooter had done the world a favour. But justice must follow the law - even when the victim doesn't deserve sympathy. With her razor-sharp instincts and analytical mind, Suzanna McLeod must navigate dark secrets, conflicting loyalties, and her own inner turmoil to catch a killer hiding in plain sight. This is the fifth book in the DCI Suzanna McLeod series - a highly skilled, analytical but intuitive detective, and inspirational team leader. The antithesis of Rebus. A gripping modern mystery of revenge, power, and the fine line between justice and murder.
