A family lies slaughtered in an isolated house in North East Fife . . .
James Oswald is the author of the Inspector McLean series of crime novels. The first five, Natural Causes, The Book of Souls, The Hangman's Song, Dead Men's Bones and Prayer for the Dead are available as Penguin paperbacks and ebooks. He has also written an epic fantasy series, The Ballad of Sir Benfro, which is published by Penguin, as well as comic scripts and short stories. In his spare time he runs a 350-acre livestock farm in North East Fife, where he raises pedigree Highland Cattle and New Zealand Romney Sheep.
There's a timely feel to this macabre police procedural, which also
has shade of the supernatural. After a top politician shoots his
family, Detective Tony McLean uncovers an establishment sex-abuse
ring, operated at a mental hospital. Creepy, gritty and
gruesome
