A gripping British crime thriller in which a detective is pulled into a personal and dangerous psychological game.
In a game built on control and fear, one wrong move could end it all…
When DCI McNeill receives a video showing the kidnap of a colleague, he knows the
message is personal. Within hours, he’s back in Edinburgh, facing an adversary unlike any he’s
encountered.
What begins as a rescue escalates into a deadly contest, each familiar crime scene
pulling Mac deeper into the killer’s trap.
Pushed to his limits, he must confront a mind that mirrors his own—and plays to win.
But in the dead of night, the killer strikes, and Mac is snared.
As the final act begins, only one player will walk away.
