False Dawn (Sgt Rakesh Syal, Paperback)
St Andrew’s Day. A back shift from hell. A city about to erupt.
After years working as detective, Sergeant Rakesh Siyal is back in uniform and facing the hard realities of Edinburgh’s streets. With a missing teenager sucking away manpower, his frontline team have to contend with a pub fight in danger of spiralling out of control and turning into something far more dangerous.
Juggling the chaos of the night, Rakesh is called to a domestic dispute that feels all wrong – and his instincts tell him there's more lurking beneath the surface.
As he hunts for a stray dog causing havoc with traffic, tensions soon rise and Rakesh must rely on more than his experience as a detective to navigate a city ready to erupt.
False Dawn follows on from events in His Path of Darkness, the sixth DI Rob Marshall novel.

I think this was a good way to get to know the main character better and I feel there is a lot that can be done with Sgt Syal in the next chapter of his life in Police Scotland wither it is back with Marshall in the Borders or left in Edinburgh for a while.
We find Rakesh Siyal, getting ready for the late shift, dreading wearing a uniform, and wondering when he will be summoned back into a plain clothes team,
The evening shift is one they're all used to, going out with body cameras and tazers to 'quietened down' the drunks and trouble makers along with answering calls of disturbances and domestic fights, as is now the normal pattern with Ed James, there's always more than one plot, running tandem with each other and even mixing together at points, with help along the way with old colleague DI Rob Marshall, they uncover drugs, a attempted murder, and gross misconduct... another 5🌟 book 📖 that leaves us wanting to find out if Shunty returns to plain clothes and working alongside DI Rob Marshall, roll on book 3, in 2025
