How do you investigate a murder when the victim seems to have no past? A puzzling new crime thriller by the author of A Fatal Move.
When Oliver Upton is shot dead on a golf course, DCI Fleming and his team look for details about the man’s life, but they aren’t easy to find. All they know is that he showed up in Oxford and started working as a taxi driver. Not even the victim’s new partner, Jamila Kazan, knows much about him—and the mystery deepens when Kazan is also shot.
Grasping for clues, Fleming investigates Kazan’s ex, who joined a rifle club after their breakup—and Upton’s ex, who may have been abused by him.
But after Fleming heads to Edinburgh to follow a lead, he soon learns that Upton had a good reason for leaving his past behind, and that far more lies at the heart of these crimes . . .
