About this listen
‘Grabbed me from the first page’ Ian Rankin
This grave can never be opened.
The head of Scotland’s most powerful crime family is brutally murdered, his body dumped inside an ancient grave in a remote cemetery.
This murder can never be forgotten.
Detectives Max Craigie and Janie Calder arrive at the scene, a small town where everyone has secrets to hide. They soon realise this murder is part of a blood feud between two Scottish families that stretches back to the 1800s. One thing’s for certain: it might be the latest killing, but it won’t be the last…
This killer can never be caught.
As the body count rises, the investigation uncovers large-scale corruption at the heart of the Scottish Police Service. Now Max and Janie must turn against their closest colleagues – to solve a case that could cost them far more than just their lives…

This Grave Never to be Opened.
If Jed Mercurio's Line of Duty appealed, then you'll love this. An historical feud is rekindled and ex Metropolitan Police officer Max Cragie & partner Janey Calder have to deal with the rising body count & insidious corruption in Police Scotland.
I lost a whole lot of sleep over the past couple of nights as I found the story utterly compelling. I had to keep listening!
Excellently narrated by Angus King, he does a decent job of countless different accents. A couple of them made me wince, but didn't affect my enjoyment of the book in the least.
Fans of McIlvanney, Rankin and Oswald will love this. Can't wait for a follow up!

A good listen
The narrator I thought portrayed characters well , especially as I believe
It could have been a little shorter. I look forward to listening to another one.

Great storyline and hero
Really enjoyed this as I foray more into Scottish crime writing. A proper gangster and deep hero mad for good listening, I just wish the accents of the narrator has been a little more authentic.
