Nine sharp, sly, and satisfyingly dark Scottish mysteries. One unforgettable detective duo.

DI James Munro never planned to come out of retirement. And DS Charlie West didn’t expect to be paired with a grumpy old Scot who thinks chamomile tea should be outlawed. She's dealt with a lot worse. But the murders keep coming — and someone has to solve them.

A girl found dead in the woods. A man pushed off a cliff. A confession that doesn’t add up. Munro’s not interested in small talk. West’s not here to make the tea. Together, they trudge through wind, rain, and the messier corners of human nature in search of answers.

There’s no flashy tech, no dramatic shootouts — just sharp minds, sharper tongues, and the occasional whisky.

For readers who like their crime fiction with bite, grit, and a touch of gallows humour.

Detective Inspector James Munro
Sixtyish, sarcastic, and not quite as retired as he’d like to be. Stubborn as a mule, but always five steps ahead. Wears walking boots to work, doesn’t suffer fools, and believes tea should come with three sugars and a hard stare.

Detective Sergeant Charlie West
Book-smart, street-smart, and not afraid to go toe-to-toe with Munro. She’s the kind of copper who keeps her boots in the boot and her opinions on her sleeve. Fast with a comeback, and even faster on the uptake.

They bicker. They clash. But they get results.

Small-town Scotland. The bits tourists don’t visit.
Rain-lashed streets. Mountains looming in the distance. Locals who say nothing — but watch everything. These are the kinds of places where a body can lie undiscovered for weeks, and everyone’s got a skeleton or two in the cupboard. The weather’s grim. The humour’s drier. And justice comes one dogged step at a time.
