'Classic Scottish noir: bad food, bad moods, too much booze and tight plots' @ey0k1, Twitter
'The best yet' Amazon five-star review
Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Ed McBain and Christopher Brookmyre, Bottleneck sees the return of Acting Detective Sergeant Scott Cullen, in the gritty and hard-hitting Scottish police procedural series that has set the bestseller charts alight.
Things are finally going well for ADS Scott Cullen. He's just moved in with his girlfriend and, thanks to a merger at work, the promotion he craves is almost in reach. Just so long as he can keep out of trouble...
Then the severely decomposed body of a man is found amid the labyrinthine alleyways of Edinburgh's Old Town; he has a screwdriver through his heart. The investigation leads Scott to unsettled scores in the music industry, where bands and their bitter rivalries might just have turned murderous.
Suddenly things aren't looking so good. Cullen's relationship takes an alarming turn, just as the unsolved case begins to weigh heavily on him. Scott's maverick tactics have helped him in the past, but will they come back to haunt him - and put others in danger?
