A bomb at Holyrood. A dead socialite. A cover-up with bodies at every turn.
When a car bomb detonates at the Scottish Parliament, a far-right group is quick to claim they're acting to save the Union. It's the biggest story in a generation. Reporter Doug McGregor was there. Now he can't let it go.
Meanwhile, DI Susie Drummond isn't working the bombing – instead, she's investigating the death of a scandal-hit socialite, a case everybody powerful wants closed. But the more she pulls at the threads, the closer she gets to Holyrood – and the more dangerous the investigation becomes.
As police and politicians scramble to prevent public panic and bury any suggestion of a terror campaign in the capital, the violence keeps coming. The establishment wants silence. Doug and Susie want the truth. But when Doug uncovers a key lead, the story stops being just a story. It's personal. And this is one deadline he can't afford to miss.
The Dead Line is a propulsive Scottish crime thriller packed with tension, dark humour, and razor-edged emotion, and is the 5th book in the Doug McGregor and Susie Drummond series: sharp, darkly funny Scottish crime thrillers set in Edinburgh.
