A body in a barrel. A troubled cop. A family with secrets to hide.
DC Scott Cullen is disillusioned with the force and his insufferable boss, DI Bain, not least because he keeps being overlooked for a promotion. That is until he finds himself investigating not one but two decades-old cases when the mangled and unidentifiable body of a man is found in a barrel of aged Dunpender Distillery whisky.
The plot thickens when it is discovered that two men working at the distillery went missing within weeks of each other around the same time the barrel was filled nearly twenty years ago. As Cullen steps back in time to work out what happened, he finds himself steeped in twisted tales of family loyalties, lies and professional rivalries. But before Cullen can work out who the killer is, he needs to know whose body is in the barrel...
For fans of Ian Rankin, Ed McBain and Stuart MacBride, Fire in the Blood is the third novel featuring Detective Constable Scott Cullen, in the gritty and hard-hitting Scottish police procedural series that has set the bestseller charts alight.
