About
Newly assigned to CID, Detective Constable Elizabeth Burnet needs to prove herself more than most. In an era rife with misogynistic attitudes, some see her as little more than a pretty face hired to make the department more palatable to the public, giving her the nickname 'The Friday Girl'.
So when she stumbles across evidence of a nascent serial killer - dubbed "The Werewolf" by the local press - her theories are dismissed as the product of an overactive imagination, and the more she tries to persuade people of the truth, the more she's alienated from her colleagues. But the killer is out there, hunting for their next victim in the Templeton Woods.
The only person who believes Burnet is a recently dismissed detective with his own agenda: exposing corruption within Tayside Police. Working together, they soon realise that some within the police force may have their own reasons for covering up the recent deaths. And as the killer is exposed, Burnet uncovers the mind of a monster pushed to the edge. R.D. McLean is the author of eight crime novels and a number of short stories in anthologies and magazines, including Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, The Book of Extraordinary Sleuths and Private Eye Stories. His debut novel, The Good Son was shortlisted for the Private Eye Writers of America Shamus Award in 2010. His latest novel, Ed's Dead was called "A really authentic and remarkable read!" by bestselling author Martina Cole. 1978. Scotland. A ambitious serial killer hunts neighbourhood pets, before moving on to larger prey. As Detective Constable Elizabeth Burnet battles to uncover the truth, her chase for 'The Werewolf' races towards a bloody, terrifying conclusion . . . A thrilling spin on the trend of female detective novels and series. Author has a great track record and is excited to write more Scottish crime fiction. A fast-paced thriller with plenty of suspense and perfect Scottish wit thrown in for good measure.
