A child's life is at stake. Which of the residents of St Andrews is hiding something – and why?
When a baby girl is snatched from the crowd of spectators at a fun run, the local police have a major investigation on their hands. DI Clare Mackay and her team are in a race against the clock when they learn that the child has a potentially fatal medical condition.
As Clare investigates she realises this victim wasn't selected at random. Someone knows who took the baby girl, and why. But will they reveal their secrets before it's too late?
The second instalment from an exciting new Scottish detective series. Perfect for fans of Alex Gray, Rachel Amphlett and D. K. Hood.
Advance Praise
Praise for See Them Run:
See Them Run, the stunning debut from Marion Todd, has all the ingredients of a cracking crime novel : a strong female lead with a dark backstory, a vivid sense of place, a rising body count and a twist you don’t see coming Set in historic St Andrews, the police procedural is chillingly authentic, its protagonist - Clare Mackay - compelling. A welcome addition to the Tartan Noir genre, See Them Run has the potential for a long-running series. -Claire Macleary, author of Cross Purpose
'An original concept in police procedurals, See Them Run is suspense loaded from start to finish – and author Marion Todd couldn’t have delighted us more. ' -I AM IN PRINT magazine
'A breath of fresh Tartan noir' -Scottish Field magazine

My thanks to NetGalley and publisher Text Publishing, for the ARC.
This is #2 in the DI Clare Mackay series and I enjoyed it just as much as #1 - See Them Run. Although you can read this as a standalone I would thoroughly recommend you read Book #1. Set in St Andrews, Scotland. This is well-written and fast-paced, conveying the urgency of a busy police investigation with excellent dialogue. Like Book #1, we understand that Clare's Station is small, and when a big case takes off then an outside DCI is brought in to head the team. This time the new DCI is only interested in this leading to his promotion. Again, though, Clare begins to doubt her abilities.
At the start of a charity fun-run where Clare and her team are taking part, a 6-month-old baby girl, Abi, is taken from her pram. Clare quickly gets things under control and the investigation starts. It becomes increasingly urgent as they are working against the clock due to Abi's heart condition, for which she needs specialist medication.
The mother Lisa subsequently disappears, her sister - herself an ex-drug addict and awaiting the prospect of the return of her child to her from Social Services - had surreptitiously provided an untraceable phone to her - why? the team have to find out.
Are there drugs involved? Why can't they find Lisa's car?
It's a good plot and thoroughly absorbing.
Really enjoyed it!
