Bad Deeds
Slick, gripping and 'madly fun and exciting' (Lisa Jewell), get ready for Andrew Hunter Murray's new crime caper.
Alex used to break into houses illegally. These days, it's his job.
Alex is part of a small firm of consultants who break into offices and homes to test their security. It's fun, it's well paid, and he's very good at it. It's almost like he's grown up at last.
But when he gets fired from his firm, evicted from his flat and dumped by his girlfriend, all in the same evening, he decides to steal one last job from his company without their knowing. A job they had already decided not to accept.
Big mistake.
Before long, Alex is in remote northern Scotland, following the trail of an ambitious young man who supposedly fell to his death with no witnesses in sight.
And if Alex doesn't get to the truth soon, he may well be the next one over the edge...
