Dominic Queste is back – but playing a deadly game

Posted on April 25, 2017

Tag – You’re Dead is the new hard-hitting crime thriller with an edge of dark wit from McIlvanney prize-shortlisted author Douglas Skelton. It’s out on 27 April 2017.

The second novel in the Dominic Queste series – following on from last year’s The Dead Don’t Boogie – sees the maverick investigator on the trail of missing butcher Sam Price. But he soon uncovers links to a killer with a taste for games.

What began as a simple favour for his girlfriend quickly descends into a battle for survival against an enemy who has no qualms about turning victims into prime cuts.

Amidst a twisted game of cat and mouse, suspicious coppers, vicious crooks and a seemingly random burglary, Queste will need all his street smarts to outwit the enemy and keep staying alive.

Or he might just find himself on the butcher’s block.
