The clock is ticking…

Detective Constable Angus MacVicar has just landed his dream job – transferred out of uniform and assigned to Oldcastle’s biggest ongoing murder investigation: Operation Telegram, hunting the “Fortnight Killer”.

Every two weeks another couple is targeted. One victim is left at the scene, their corpse used as a twisted message board. The second body is never seen again.

This should be the perfect chance for Angus to prove himself, but instead of working on the investigation’s front line, he’s lumbered with the forensic psychologist from hell. A jetlagged, sarcastic, know-it-all American, on loan from the FBI, who seems determined to alienate everyone while dragging Angus into a shadowy world of conspiracies, lies, and violence.

It’s been twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and the investigation’s running out of time. The darkness is growing, and if Angus isn’t careful, it’ll swallow him whole…

Critic Reviews

'Written with Macbride’s customary black humour, it is a dark, richly satisfying story that proves just how good a crime writer he is.'
Stuart MacBride has become synonymous with superb storytelling, fearless imagination and dry wit in his galloping crime thrillers.
MacBride is the master at taking you to a place which you think cannot get any darker, and then turning the lights off.
Taut and twisty, this fab crime novel takes you right to the middle of the action.
An entertaining crime caper.
In a Place of Darkness delivers... and then some.
Praise for Stuart MacBride
Dark and gripping. A riveting page-turner.
Skilful storytelling ... both intriguing and engrossing.
Stuart MacBride is an automatic must-read for me... always fast, hard, authentic – and different.
