[close] For one thing, the baffling lack of forensics at the crime scene seems impossible. But that's just the first in a series of revelations about this case that seems beyond belief. Teamed with the most unlikely and unwelcome of allies, McLean must track down a killer--driven by the darkest compulsions and who will answer only to a higher power--until it's his own blood on the altar.

If you are looking for a great mystery series Inspector McLean just might be it. Every case has a touch of the bazaar as James Oswald always introduces a touch of the supernatural. Tony always gets "his man"..."or woman"...or "thing" and when it is all worked out it's usually more unbelievable than even he imagined. This series has been as "a police procedural on steroids" and that's not far from the truth.
