When murder disturbs the peaceful Scottish county of Fife, Detective Jim Carruthers follows the deadly trail wherever it leads in these three crime thrillers.
Robbing the Dead
What links a spate of horrible murders, a targeted bomb explosion and a lecturer’s disappearance? Having recently returned to Castletown to win back his estranged wife, DCI Jim Carruthers is now up to his eyes in a baffling investigation.
Care to Die
When an old man is murdered at a Scottish nature reserve, DI Carruthers travels Iceland to interview the victim’s estranged son. Soon, he and Sergeant Andrea Fletcher must connect the dots between the decades-old disappearance of a twelve-year-old boy, the murder of a former journalist, and a bitter local dispute about a nature reserve.
Mark of the Devil
While Det. Chief Inspector Jim Carruthers and his team are busy investigating a series of art thefts, they receive an anonymous tip about the body of a young woman on a deserted beach. When the trail leads to a local shooting estate, Carruthers wonders if the missing art, the dead woman, and the estate are all connected.
