Description
Discover the BRAND NEW gripping Scottish crime series, from the author of the bestselling DCI James Craig series, John Carson. An absolute must-read for fans of Andrew Raymond and JD Kirk! ??????'A twisty, tartan-clad cracker laced with dark humour.' Bestselling crime author Ross Greenwood
Some bodies just won't stay buried...
After putting a stop to one of Edinburgh's most notorious serial killers 3 years ago, DCI Liam Brodie is known as a man who can handle - and solve - the hardest of cases. But when he's assigned to Fife's Major Investigations Team, he soon realises that he's walking into a minefield. The previous DCI is missing, presumed dead, and the case he's been called in to lead becomes dangerously close to home.
When a child's bones are unearthed beneath the floorboards of an old house in Fife - the same house where his girlfriend, psychologist Ruth Calder, grew up as a foster daughter - Brodie uncovers a tangled web of lies and jealousy. Ruth's foster mother, now gripped by dementia, holds fragments of the truth but in a community haunted by its history, Brodie must navigate betrayal and buried guilt to bring a decades-old secret to light.
But at what cost to those he loves most? ??

Originally from Edinburgh, I moved to NY in 2006 with my wife - who is American - and my two daughter, who were 10 and 7 at the time. I met Debbie, my second wife, online in 2001. My daughters are from my first marriage, and Debbie has an adult son. I have been writing for a long time, writing my first crime novel in 1997.
After being taken on by an agency in 2012, the agent then abruptly left the agency in 2013. A year later, in November 2014 I decided to self publish my books.
I started with the DI Frank Miller series, followed by DCI Harry McNeil and DCI Sean Bracken. I decided on writing DCI James Craig and have him move from London to Fife. I have also written two Calvin Stewart books (from the McNeil series) and four US - based thrillers.
