Final Warning
A detective on his way out. A pathologist already out the door. And a killer up for the challenge.
Detective Superintendent Calvin Stewart is on his final warning after messing up a crime scene in Glasgow. He's never been one for desk duty and he's not going to start now.
Finbar O'Toole is a pathologist and is at the crime scene where Stewart disgraces himself. There's no love lost between the two men.
A violent incident takes place and Finbar steps in to save Stewart, and then the two men get talking.
A bond is formed as they set about tracking down a killer who's been amongst them all this time - and nobody is even aware.
Finding roadblocks at every turn, they put their own lives on the line as they search for the truth and hunt down a killer who won't let anybody stand in their way. Not even them.
The first book in an off shoot from the DCI Harry McNeil series, Final Warning brings together two enemies to form a formidable bond.
