Neil Lancaster: True Detective and New Chapters

The Conversation with Nadine Matheson

In the intricate dance between public fascination with crime and the harsher truths of the streets, Neil Lancaster and Nadine Matheson ponder the poignant narratives that informed his career in law enforcement—the young lives ensnared in cycles of violence, the societal underpinnings of crime, and the quest for redemption. Neil's forthcoming book, "The Devil You Know, promises a tale that not only grips the reader but highlights the consequential nature of missing persons cases. We dissect the unpredictable alchemy of writing success—where a blend of fortuitous timing and heartfelt reader relationships can coalesce into accolades like a McElvaney Prize long-listing or the coveted title of Waterstones Scottish Book of the Month. This conversation is an immersion into the profound journeys that shape us and the impact of embracing the unexpected chapters of our lives.
The Devil You Know

A CASE GONE COLD

Six years ago, Beata Dabrowski arranged to meet her lover in Glasgow and was never seen again. There were no leads. . . until now.

AN UNRELIABLE WITNESS

Imprisoned gang boss Davie Hardie wants to talk in exchange for his freedom. He knows exactly where Beata is buried, and he’s prepared to take the police to her grave.

A KILLER DESPERATE TO ESCAPE

But when the mission to locate Beata’s body is hijacked, DS Max Craigie is drafted on to the case. Someone is selling secrets.

Max will stop at nothing to expose police corruption and uncover Beata’s murderer. . . but can you ever really trust a killer to catch a killer?
