Summary

Meet Enzo Macleod, and begin the addictive cold-case series from the Sunday Times best-selling author of the Lewis trilogy and Coffin Road.

Paris

An old mystery

As midnight strikes, a man desperately seeking sanctuary flees into a church. The next day, his sudden disappearance will make him famous throughout France. 

A new science

Forensic expert Enzo Macleod takes a wager to solve the seven most notorious French murders, armed with modern technology and a total disregard for the justice system. 

A fresh trail

Deep in the catacombs below the city, he unearths dark clues deliberately set - and as he draws closer to the killer, discovers that he is to be the next victim.

Interesting Listen

An interesting book which goes in many different directions. After reading the black house Peter May series, I gave this one a go. Very good start to the Enzo Macleod series.

Intriguing story although a shade too complicated for me

This is a well thought through story with layers of intrigue and complexity. The characters are very real and credible with good interaction. The narration is excellent and very listenable.
For me the story was too complicated to follow with lots of references to places in France with maybe too much focus on the locations which prevented me staying close to the story.

A whistle stop tour of France!

Enjoyed the story and performance except for garde des Skose and a tendency of the author to repeat himself frequently.

Another great discovery for me.

Peter May's portrayal of the Scottish male, full of integrity with a sense of justice, persistence, and curiosity, makes it a pleasure to spend time with this man as he romps chaotically around France doing the most unlikely things.

Great story. Brilliant narration.

With Peter Forbes as narrator it feels more like a radio play and make a great story brilliant.
