'Perfect for fans of Thirteen by Steve Cavanagh' Reader review

ONLY ONE PERSON CAN SAVE YOU. AND HE WANTS YOU DEAD. Police find a man dead at his home in Los Angeles. Nothing suggests foul-play but elements of the victim’s house show that something is deeply wrong.

Meanwhile, in Glasgow, DI Rachel Narey is searching for a missing young woman – and the man she suspects of killing her.

When a feed broadcasting the slow and painful death of a final victim is discovered, these two cases become linked.

There’s no way to identify him. No way to find him No way to save him. Not without the cooperation of a killer.

And the only way he will cooperate is if he can watch him die.

The gripping new novel from the acclaimed author of Murderabilia and The Photographer, both nominated for the McIlvanney Prize.

Praise for Craig Robertson:

'Packed full of tension, Watch Him Die is a brilliantly unnerving read - an original premise with a devilishly clever execution, the story unfolds with expert precision. I flew through the pages, sick with dread. An excellent thriller from a crime stalwart - in fact, this might be his best yet' SJI Holliday, author of Violet

‘Robertson, a maestro of Tartan noir, twins a dogged Glasgow detective with her counterparts in Los Angeles, but can this formidable team find a psycho killer who seems to leave no trace? High-concept plot keeps the 'tecs and the reader on their toes’ Sunday Times, Crime Club

‘Exceptionally talented . . . Robertson’s skill in matching the atmosphere of LA with that of Scotland is mightily impressive, as is his ability to maintain the suspense that lies at the heart of the search for a dying man. This is truly difficult to put down’ Daily Mail

'Brilliantly and sensitively written' Steve Cavanagh, bestselling author of Thirteen
