About this listen

A gripping Scottish crime thriller from the winner of the Good Housekeeping Novel Writing competition 2016.

Two brutal killings rock Inverness, and bring ex-Met Detective Inspector Lukas Mahler the biggest challenge of his career...

The body of the queen of daytime TV, Morven Murray is discovered by her sister, Anna, on the morning of her wedding day. But does Anna know more about the murder than she's letting on?

Police informant Kevin Ramsay's murder looks like a gangland-style execution. But what could he have stumbled into that was dangerous enough to get him violently killed?

Mahler has only a couple of weeks to solve both cases while dealing with his mother's fragile mental health. But caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, is ex-Met DI Lukas Mahler hunting one killer, or two?

Critic Reviews

'Shadow Man is a harrowing and horrific game of consequences.'
A new star of tartan noir is born. Kirk has written a brilliantly tense, atmospheric debut. I can't wait to read more in this highland crime series.
A harrowing tale of two murders set in Inverness. Be prepared to hear more from DI Lukas Mahler and his talented creator.
Dark and compelling.
