Description
Ruthless crime lord James Machie was assassinated in the back of a prison ambulance following his trial and conviction. But now, five years later, he appears to be back from the grave and hell-bent on wreaking vengeance on those who brought him down.
Top of his list is fellow gangster Frank MacDougall who, unbeknownst to D.C.I. Jim Daley, is living under protection near Kinloch. Daley must work out how a dead man could commit murder, what's planning next and how to protect his friend and colleague D.S. Scott, who is also a target. And nothing, not even dead, has ever stood in James Machie's way . . .
The Last Witness is the second in the internationally bestselling D.C.I. Daley thriller series.
