DCI Jim Daley is charged with murder - and everyone saw him do it - in the gripping new thriller from the bestselling author Denzil Meyrick.

In the middle of the night in Kinloch, the phone rings…

Detective Sergeant Brian Scott answers. It’s a message from his old friend and partner, DCI Jim Daley, which chills him to the bone:

‘She’s dead, Brian. I couldn’t take it anymore – I killed her! You have to help.’

Daley has been arrested for murder, and everyone saw him do it. The police have all the evidence they need to put him behind bars for life, but Scott still believes he’s innocent.

Is someone trying to frame him?

The search for answers takes Daley and Scott on a dark journey into their past, putting the people closest to them in immediate danger. And as the heartbreak takes its toll, Scott begins to wonder if this might be the end of the road.

Is it time to call last orders?

Another gripping story...makes a fitting end to the series.
A brutally effective closing chapter to the DCI Daley Series… the twists and violence are relentless, all leavened by a streak of coal-black humour.

Loved everything about this book. A fitting and terrible end to the series. Wonderful humour and plot twists. And don’t get me started on the characters or I may start crying again.

Gripping and heartbreaking!

I have loved all of the Jim Daley books, enjoying the well rounded characters and vivid descriptions that Denzil Meyrick did so well. This book is a fitting end, both in title and content, with a focus on loss and love. Living near to where the books were written and often set, it is very sad that this fantastic author will no longer be able to make me laugh, cry and shout out loud at times, with his amazing work. Now I plan to go right back to Whisky from small glasses and enjoy the ride all over again.

Fitting finale for an outstanding author

Such a sad read thinking about the passing of Denzil. Have loved all of this series. Marvellous book, had me changing my view of who the good and the bad cops were throughout the book.

Sleep tight Denzil x

Brilliant as usual. I laughed throughout the performance and cried at the end listening to the Editor’s lovely tribute. R.I.P Denzil Meyrick.

The last exciting instalment of life in Kinloch / Campbeltown has come to an end. Thank you Denzil for many hours of riveting listening over the years. Well narrated too by David Monteath.

RIP
