Out For Blood




This time, revenge is a matter of life or death... DI Eve Hunter returns in the explosive second crime novel from Deborah Masson, author of the acclaimed Hold Your Tongue.

DI Eve Hunter is back in the edge-of-your-seat new detective thriller from Deborah Masson, winning author of the Bloody Scotland Crime Debut of the Year 2020.

A young man, the son of an influential businessman, is discovered dead in his central Aberdeen apartment.

Hours later, a teenaged girl with no identification is found hanged in a suspected suicide.

As DI Eve Hunter and her team investigate the two cases, they find themselves in a tug-of-war between privilege and poverty; between the elite and those on the fringes of society.

Then an unexpected breakthrough leads them to the shocking conclusion: that those in power have been at the top for too long - and now, someone is going to desperate lengths to bring them down...

Can they stop someone who is dead set on revenge, no matter the cost?

About the author

Deborah Masson

Deborah Masson was born and bred in Aberdeen, Scotland. Always restless and fighting against being a responsible adult, she worked in several jobs including secretarial, marketing, reporting for the city's freebie newspaper and a stint as a postie - to name but a few.

Through it all, she always read crime fiction and, when motherhood finally settled her into being an adult (maybe even a responsible one) she turned her hand to writing what she loved. Deborah started with short stories and flash fiction whilst her daughter napped and, when she later welcomed her son into the world, she decided to challenge her writing further through online courses with Professional Writing Academy and Faber Academy. Her debut novel, Hold Your Tongue, is the result of those courses.

Praise for Out For Blood

Brilliant. A great new voice in the police procedural world. Hooks you in from the first chapter and doesn't let up. Characters are real people you want to spend time with. Out For Blood has everything you need in a crime thriller and more.

Rebecca Bradley

Really enjoyed DI Eve Hunter's second outing. Out For Blood is every bit as good a page-turner as the first in the series.

Emma Curtis

A slickly plotted, fast paced read with a strong emotive core - I loved it.

Steph Broadribb

A brilliant follow-up novel. DI Eve Hunter is truly a force to be reckoned with.

David Jackson, author of THE RESIDENT

Skilful plotting, a complex detective and utterly believable characters - this is first-class crime fiction.

Marion Todd, author of SEE THEM RUN

Another addictive DI Hunter read from Deborah Masson! She is the master of drip feeding clues and notching up tension. I raced through it! Masson is now officially my go to author for gripping police procedural reads.

Lauren North, author of THE PERFECT BETRAYAL

DI Eve Hunter is a truly believable cop. This authenticity draws the reader into a plot that not only compels, but is a stinging social comment on those who have and have not in our society. You can smell, taste and feel the dramatic backdrop of Aberdeen. Not to be missed, edge-of-the-seat stuff from a genuine rising star.
