Summary

The serial killer he couldn’t catch is dead....

Can DI Rob Marshall save his last victim before she dies too?

Met cop DI Rob Marshall is hot on the trail of the serial killer known as the Chameleon, who has abducted, tortured, and killed a series of young women in Northwest London. As they close in, the Chameleon—who switches identity to get close to his victims—shoots Marshall’s partner and escapes.

But when the Chameleon’s body is found two years later, Marshall must return to his home town of Melrose in the Scottish Borders and face the tragedy that’s haunted him for 20 years and made him leave in the first place.

The Chameleon’s final victim is still missing–can Marshall unpick the Chameleon’s latest identity in time to save her from a lonely death?

The Turning of Our Bones is the first book in the DI Rob Marshall series, starring a haunted detective who masks his trauma with biting humour. Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Stuart MacBride, JD Kirk, and LJ Ross.

Great First Book

I bought this book, simply because Angus was reading it, and I love everything he reads! Having been completely hooked on JD Kirk, I wanted something similar and this fits the bill. I’m looking forward to seeing where the series and characters go.

Took a bit of getting in to - but worth it

Good characters. Bit violent, and sometimes almost seemed to skip to conclusions, but I enjoyed this book. Will certainly read the next one.

Story good, narration excellent!

Having the perfect narrator elevates a good book - this is Angus King at his finest. It will be interesting to see how this new series develops.
