With Friends Like These

A reunion of friends in remote Scotland turns into a terrifying ordeal in this twisting crime thriller by the author of The People Next Door. On his way to Scotland for a reunion with his university friends, Billy Maguire runs over a pedestrian. But this is only the start of his problems . . . Realising the man is alive, Billy puts him in the back seat of his car, planning to leave him outside the nearest hospital. But when the man dies, Billy panics and drives to the reunion with the body in the car, where he begs his friends for help. Tension swirls within the group at first, but when the dead man's ID reveals him to be a notorious criminal Dougie McCool, they decide to get rid of the body. The only problem is that some dangerous men are looking for McCool-including his brother, who is willing to brutally exploit the circle of friends to get what he wants. But will he succeed or can they get away with it? "A rip roaring excitement filled read." -Book Mark "Darkly funny and utterly terrifying.

I thoroughly enjoyed it." -Caron McKinlay "A book you will want to read in one breath. Enthralling and totally consuming." -Dan's Books
