Point Blank: A gripping new Scottish police procedural that you won't want to miss

In a Scottish village where the past stays buried, one detective refuses to look away…

When a devoted family man is found dead on his doorstep in a historic fishing village on Scotland's east coast, the community is left reeling. With DI Carruthers out of action, DS Andrea Fletcher is thrust into the lead for the first time — and this case is anything but straightforward.

There are no witnesses, no clear motive or clues, and nothing to explain how a killer just disappeared into the darkness.

As Fletcher begins to investigate, she uncovers whispers of an older crime with ties to the same house. But the case was closed years ago and the man convicted for it is still behind bars. Officially, the past is settled. Unofficially, it doesn't sit right and as Fletcher pushes deeper, the more resistance she meets — not just from suspects, but from within her own ranks.

With the pressure mounting, personal wounds resurfacing and a killer who always seems one step ahead, Fletcher is forced down multiple paths. But can she uncover what really happened before another victim is murdered?

Because it's clear that someone will do anything to make sure the truth stays buried. The start of a powerful new series, Point Blank is a gripping crime thriller that explores justice, lies and the cost of asking too many questions, perfect for readers of Ian Rankin and Ann Cleeves.
