The Devil's Cut by Andrew James Greig
When a distillery owner's body is discovered on top of a remote Scottish mountain, forensics confirm that he died of natural causes. DI Corstophine's concerns are raised however, when the dead's man eccentric sister receives a message, apparently from the beyond the grave. The police are dismissive until it appears the devil himself is intent on attacking other family members. Why is his daughter kept locked and sedated in her room in the baronial mansion? Who or what is stalking his son as he scatters his father's ashes on lonely summits? And what insanity is behind the horrific attacks in their small Highland town? DI Corstophine and his team don't know what they're facing until it's too late. Following on from the success of Whirligig, The Devil's Cut is a story about what constitutes sanity and how delicate that state really is; how such a perfect emotion as love can completely destroy a man.
'Ambitious, innovative concept and the most intricate modus operandi for killing the victims of any book this year..a real page turner.' McIlvanney Prize 2020 Panel; 'I really loved this fresh new voice in Scottish crime' @OnTheShelfBooks; 'Whirligig by Andrew James Greig is an outstanding murder mystery that draws you in and keeps you turning the pages all the way to its beautifully crafted and nicely veiled conclusion.' @UndisScot; 'I wish I had more words to describe how brilliant this book is, so far they don't quite feel adequate enough but I can honestly say that I enjoyed every moment of reading Whirligig and it will easily make it onto my favourite books of the year list.' @Kate_everywhere
