What if the killer she’s hunting turns out to be the woman she’s falling for?
‘Tense, chilling and distinctive, this is a one-sitting read’ Guardian
‘A bloody good read’ Val McDermid

Just because the most dangerous criminals in society are caught and locked up, doesn’t mean they stop committing crime.
That’s where Kennedy Allardyce comes in – working in one of Scotland’s toughest prisons, monitoring not just the prisoners, but also the staff.
And she’s just stumbled across her most dangerous foe yet – rumours of a corrupt guard, nicknamed Scout, with lethal influence. And what’s worst, it seems they’ve already realised Kennedy is on their tail.
Despite her growing fear, there is one thing going right for Kennedy. The enigmatic new prison officer Molly is beautiful and ready to sweep her off her feet.
But Kennedy can’t afford to let her guard down. Because with Scout hiding very close by, her next mistake might just be her last . . .
Bloody Scotland Panel

Bloody Scotland Debut Prize Panel FRI 12TH / 3.30-4.30PM / CENTRAL LIBRARY / FREE (TICKETED)
Meet the five finalists for the Bloody Scotland Scottish Crime Debut of the Year as they’re interviewed by festival co-founder Alex Gray. See the stars of tomorrow today. David Goodman’s ingenious espionage novel A Reluctant Spy features arms dealers, elite hackers, and a rogue Russian general. There are bodies in the barrels of a Kintyre distillery in Natalie Jayne Clark’s hilarious debut The Malt Whisky Murders. Richard Strachan’s The Unrecovered is a richly atmospheric gothic tale of madness, war and all-encompassing obsession. Foday Mannah’s The Search for Othella Savage is a compelling tale of corruption set among Scotland’s Sierra Leonean community. Claire Wilson’s assured debut, Five By Five, is an unbearably tense and claustrophobic prison drama.
