Pitch Black

International Bestselling Author: A killer appears to be targeting a football club in this police procedural by a "master of Scottish crime writing" (Scottish Daily Express).

When DCI Lorimer returns from his holiday on the island of Mull, he feels a welcome sense of calm. But it doesn't last long. Kelvin Football Club's new star midfielder is found brutally stabbed to death in his own home. When his wife is apprehended trying to leave the country, it appears to be a seemingly straightforward new case.

But the grisly murder of a referee after a Kelvin match throws light on some dark secrets. And when the newest player signed to the club becomes the latest victim, Lorimer and his psychological profiler know there's a serial killer on the looseone who's only beginning to show his true colors.
