Description
Run to Ground by Stuart Johnstone follows the journey of Don Colyear as he transitions from his role as a Community Police Sergeant to a new position in Edinburgh's CID. The adjustment proves challenging with the workload and paperwork being one thing, but being micromanaged by DCI Templeton adds another layer of difficulty.
Colyear's investigation into a mysterious death quickly spirals into a complicated case. It becomes centred on a massive consignment of Class A drugs, a double murder, and a clash between low-level and professional criminals. This case puts his instincts to the ultimate test.
