Critic reviews

'Shadow Man is a harrowing and horrific game of consequences.'

A new star of tartan noir is born. Kirk has written a brilliantly tense, atmospheric debut. I can't wait to read more in this highland crime series.

A harrowing tale of two murders set in Inverness. Be prepared to hear more from DI Lukas Mahler and his talented creator.

Dark and compelling.

Excellent narration

New to me author. Looking forward to continuing the series. An intriguing plot, not the usual serial killer. Kept me listening.
