Synopsis
When the body of Thomas Magner's business partner is found dead in his car on the outskirts of Anstruther, all evidence points to suicide. And Magner himself, a wealthy property developer, is currently under investigation for a series of alleged rapes from thirty years ago. In total fifteen women are prepared to go to court to testify against Magner but one by one they inexplicably withdraw their complaints until only five remain. With the CPS now reconsidering its case, one of Magner's accusers is killed in a hit-and-run - and the abandoned car is found to be registered to one T Magner. DCI Andy Gilchrist is assigned to the hit-and-run case and soon discovers that Magner's murky past is very much seeping into the present. How did he acquire his wealth? How his first wife die? And why did his business partner commit suicide? And was Magner a serial rapist in his youth? Or was he something far worse? Praise for T.F. Muir: 'Rebus did it for Edinburgh. Laidlaw did it for Glasgow. Gilchrist might just be the bloke to put St Andrews on the crime fiction map.' Daily Record 'A bright new recruit to the swelling army of Scots crime writers.' Quintin Jardine 'Gripping and grisly, with plenty of twists and turns that race along with black humour.' Craig Robertson 'Gilchrist is intriguing, bleak and vulnerable. if I were living in St Andrews I'd sleep with the lights on.' Anna Smith

About the Author
Born in Glasgow and now a dual UK/US citizen, T.F. MUIR is a crime novelist with six books of his DCI Andy Gilchrist series published - the first, Eye for an Eye, won the Pitlochry Award for the best crime novel by an unpublished writer, and the second, Hand for a Hand, continues to garner great reviews. His latest, The Meating Room, has been hailed as one of the best of a brilliant series. He is now working on his next Gilchrist novel, another story suffused with dark alleyways, cobbled streets and all things gruesome.
Review
Praise for the DCI Gilchrist series
“A truly gripping read, with all the makings of a classic series.” —Mick Herron, winner of the 2013 CWA Gold Dagger Award
“Everything I look for in a crime novel.” —Louise Welsh, author of The Cutting Room
“St Andrews has long been crying out for its own crime series: top man Frank Muir, for providing it, with work that’s as mysterious as the place itself. DCI Gilchrist is set for a long career.” —Quintin Jardine, author of the Bob Skinner mystery series
"Rebus did it for Edinburgh. Laidlaw did it for Glasgow. Gilchrist might just be the bloke to put St. Andrews on the crime fiction map." —Daily Record
"Tartan noir is already a significant force within the crime fiction world, and TF Muir is rapidly earning a place up there with the best." —Mystery People
"Read one Muir, and you may well want to read some others..." —Kingdom Books, Mysteries
“[The initial crimes] are only the tip of the iceberg as DCI Andy Gilchrist of the Fife Constabulary follows a dark and bloody trail of mayhem.” —Kirkus Reviews
"A simply riveting read from cover to cover, The Meating Room clearly showcases author Frank Muir's complete mastery of the genre." —The Midwest Book Review
