The Hangman's Song by James Oswald
A young man is found hanging by a rope in his Edinburgh home. A simple, sad suicide, yet Detective Inspector Tony McLean is puzzled by the curious suicide note. A second hanged man and another strange note hint at a sinister pattern.
The hallmarks of Val McDermid or Ian Rankin: it's dark, violent, noirish * The Herald *
Crime fiction's next big thing * The Sunday Telegraph *
Literary sensation..James' overnight success has drawn comparisons with the meteoric rise of EL James and her Fifty Shades of Grey series * Daily Mail *
Fifty Shades of Hay * The Times *
Oswald is among the leaders in the new batch of excellent Scottish crime writers * Daily Mail *
The new Ian Rankin * Daily Record *
Classy, occasionally brutal, and with the odd suggestion of the supernatural, this will doubtless be another deserved hit. Oswald's writing is in a class above most in this genre and McLean - his rich, idealistic and all-too-human detective - is the perfect counterpoint to Ian Rankin's cynical Inspector Rebus * Daily Express *
