Synopsis
You are a police officer. This is what you do. You speak for the dead, and the desperate living.
When Anna Cameron is promoted to Chief Inspector and moved to a new division, it should be a turning point for her. But if she thought having a female boss would make things easier, she'd reckoned without the fearsome 'JC' Hamilton.
Then her mother goes into a coma in a foreign country and an old woman disappears from a Glasgow care home under suspicious circumstances, and Anna's career and personal life both threaten to implode. The gang-related murder of a young Asian boy and an assault on one of her officers only serve to turn the screws tighter - can Anna be both a good cop and a good person?

About the Author
Karen Campbell is a former police officer who lives in Glasgow with her family. She began writing in earnest on the renowned Glasgow University Creative Writing course. SHADOWPLAY is her third novel.
Review
"Karen Campbell deserves to be admitted to membership of what's becoming a very large club—Scottish crime writers of excellence. . . . As to be expected from a former police officer, Campbell portrays her milieu with harsh authenticity, and Anna Cameron is wholly believable in her unheroic role. Glasgow and its citizens are described with vivid passion." —Times
"Campbell has established herself as the new face in the Scottish crime-writing scene . . . could quite easily stand outside the crime fiction genre. . . . When her debut The Twilight Time was published in 2008, she was heralded as a major new talent with huge potential. What she has done in Shadowplay is proof that that assessment was absolutely on the money." —Scotsman
"With her third novel, the Scottish author proves she's a talent to watch." —Booklist
