The silence is broken only by the wind or the cry of a raven, masking an undercurrent of danger. These breathtaking locations are never what they seem — beneath their beauty lies a darkness waiting to be uncovered.MEET THE DETECTIVEDI Kelso Strang, once an army sniper and now a senior officer with the Edinburgh police force, is still reeling from the sudden death of his wife. It left him hollow, short-tempered, and increasingly difficult to reach. His job is the only thing that keeps him going. He now lives alone in a harbour cottage, where silence suits him better than small talk and black coffee keeps him steady. He reads old poetry, owns far too many maps and has a scar down one side of his face that people don’t ask about twice.These atmospheric and unputdownable Scottish mysteries are perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Peter May, Caro Ramsay, Daniel Sellers and Val McDermid.READERS LOVE THE DETECTIVE KELSO STRANG MYSTERIES:‘Templeton has wit, a strong narrative sense and a dab hand with atmospherics.’ Literary Review⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘The plot was very mysterious and deeply tragic with lots of twists and turns along the way.
