DCI James Craig · #2

One of the Broken

John Carson

You can run…but you can never hide from the truth

A man is found murdered in his home, bludgeoned to death. In his hand is a piece from a jigsaw puzzle. Despite being widely liked, someone harboured a deadly grudge.

DCI James Craig, who recently relocated from London to Fife to work with Police Scotland, leads a dedicated team tasked with unraveling the mystery behind the murder and the significance of the puzzling clue left behind. Despite the victim's seemingly spotless reputation, lingering shadows from his past hint at a possible motive.

As Craig delves into the victim's history, he uncovers the existence of a sinister alter ego that may have precipitated his demise, and the unsettling realisation that the killer may have more targets in mind.
With time ticking away, Craig races against the clock to identify potential victims before the tranquillity of the area is shattered by further bloodshed.
