He came seeking the truth. He died for someone else's sins.
Christmas week in Edinburgh. DCI Ewan McCall is called to St. Margaret's Church in Leith, where a body has been discovered in the confessional booth. The victim is Donald Fraser, a retired detective McCall worked with years ago.
Fraser was supposed to be enjoying his retirement. Instead, he was still working a cold case - the unsolved murder of a young prostitute from fifteen years earlier. His notes point to Father Vincent Gallagher, the parish priest at St. Margaret's, as his prime suspect.
But when McCall and DI Megan Ross dig deeper, nothing adds up. Why would Fraser confront Gallagher in the confessional after hours? Why does the crime scene feel staged? And what secrets are hidden in the presbytery beside the church?
As McCall follows Fraser's final investigation, he uncovers a past that someone has already killed to protect. A past buried deep beneath respectability and faith.
And as the Christmas lights glow across the city, McCall realizes the most dangerous confessions are the ones that never get spoken aloud.
Fallen Angels is the second book in the DCI Ewan McCall series. Perfect for fans of Andrew Raymond, JD Kirk and David J Gatward
Genre: Mystery
