Pitch Black
International Bestselling Author: A killer appears to be targeting a football club in this police procedural by a "master of Scottish crime writing" (Scottish Daily Express).
When DCI Lorimer returns from his holiday on the island of Mull, he feels a welcome sense of calm. But it doesn't last long. Kelvin Football Club's new star midfielder is found brutally stabbed to death in his own home. When his wife is apprehended trying to leave the country, it appears to be a seemingly straightforward new case.
But the grisly murder of a referee after a Kelvin match throws light on some dark secrets. And when the newest player signed to the club becomes the latest victim, Lorimer and his psychological profiler know there's a serial killer on the loose—one who's only beginning to show his true colors.

About the Author

Alex Gray was born and educated in Glasgow. After studying English and Philosophy at the University of Strathclyde, she worked as a visiting officer for the Department of Health, a time she looks upon as postgraduate education since it proved a rich source of character studies. She then trained as a secondary school teacher of English. 

Alex began writing professionally in 1993 and had immediate success with short stories, articles, and commissions for BBC radio programs. She has been awarded the Scottish Association of Writers' Constable and Pitlochry trophies for her crime writing. 

A regular on the Scottish bestseller lists, she is the author of thirteen DCI Lorimer novels. She is the co-founder of the international Scottish crime writing festival, Bloody Scotland, which had its inaugural year in 2012.
