While investigating the murder of a woman who was discovered in a shallow grave, DCI Andy Gilchrist finds the case taking him closer to the identity of his brother's killer from a hit-and-run case some 35 years earlier, especially when the dental records from an extracted tooth reveal the unthinkable.

Tooth for a Tooth

A St. Andrews golf course is the site of a grisly discovery in this Scottish crime thriller. Murder. It’s the only word in a note clutched by the dismembered hand found on the lush green of a golf course in St. Andrews, Scotland. When DCI Andy Gilchrist learns the note is addressed to him, he realizes the thing he feared most has come to pass: A killer is deliberately targeting him. Though Gilchrist has plenty of experience solving murders, this time he’s overwhelmed by a flood of seemingly unconnected crises—not only the note found in the victim’s hand, but his son’s missing girlfriend, his ex-wife’s failing health, and his boss’s decision to pair Gilchrist up with a sleazy detective from his past. Worse, the hand turns out to be just the beginning, and soon he’s faced with relentless parade of body parts . . .

Hand for a Hand

Det. Inspector Andy Gilchrist races the clock to stop a serial killer in this “tense, fast-paced crime novel” (Scottish Review of Books). Six corpses have appeared in the cobbled back streets of St. Andrews in recent times, all known spousal abusers who suffered the same gruesome fate: stabbed to death in the left eye. But with no new leads left to explore, Det. Andy Gilchrist is forced off the case. What is the significance of the left eye? Gilchrist can’t seem to focus on anything else. And with his career and his reputation on the line, he vows to catch the killer—even if it means he must do it alone . . .
