Coming this November. Available for pre-order now, Doug’s darkest story to date with a (literally explosive start) with the one and only @anguskingactor on narrating duties… amzn.eu/d/0fXMFX3u

The Dead Line (McGregor & Drummond Crime Thrillers Book 5)

When a car bomb detonates at the Scottish Parliament, a far-right group is quick to claim they're acting to save the Union. It's the biggest story in a generation. Reporter Doug McGregor was there....
