They must separate fact from fiction...

  • Forensic pathologist, Annie Keller visits her uncle, retired Judge William Hawthorne, at his nursing Home. During a lucid moment, the dementia-stricken William makes a shocking claim: he knows the identity of a killer. Disturbed by this revelation, Annie confides in her friend, DCI James Craig.

    Craig is skeptical but begins to investigate. Then a body is found, bearing a striking similarity to a murder described by William.

    When questioned, William appears confused and denies any knowledge of a killer. The staff dismisses his earlier statement as dementia-induced ramblings.
    Undeterred, Craig digs deeper into William's past cases and connections. He uncovers a web of long-buried secrets, powerful enemies, and a decades-old unsolved murder. As the investigation progresses, Annie becomes a target, convinced that her uncle's "delusion" holds a grain of truth.

    With time running out and William's memory fading fast, Craig and Annie race to unravel the mystery. They must separate fact from fiction, navigating through unreliable memories and hidden agendas to expose a killer who's evaded justice for years.

John is the author of the number 1 bestselling DCI Harry McNeil detective series. He also writes the DI Frank Miller series and the DCI Sean Bracken series.


DCI JAMES CRAIG

DCI James Craig comes up to Scotland from London, to attend the funeral of his wife’s uncle, only to discover that not everything is as it seems.

What a brilliant book in the new series. A total cliff hanger.

DCI HARRY MCNEIL

Introducing DCI Harry McNeil, a dedicated detective within Police Scotland, leading a Major Investigation Team. He shares a strong camaraderie with DI Frank Miller. Unexpectedly, Harry finds himself reassigned to a different station, where he and Frank join forces to tackle a two-decade-old, unsolved cold case—a venture that could jeopardize their very lives. "Return to Evil" marks the inaugural instalment in the gripping Harry McNeil Scottish crime series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish.

DC FRANK MILLER

Meet DI Frank Miller, an Edinburgh-based detective. Young and astute, he's unwavering in his determination. Navigating life while carrying the weight of his detective wife's tragic loss, he embraces each day as it unfolds.

“Crash Point” is the first book in the bestselling Scottish Crime series. Now, DI Frank Miller has joined Harry McNeil’s team after a reshuffle, starting with the Harry McNeil book, “Dead and Buried”.

And breathe. So full of twists and turns

DCI SEAN BRACKEN

A killer on the loose.


A killer behind bars.


And a detective caught between them...

Brilliant from start to finish.

MAX DOYLE

A jailed U.S. Army Ranger...

And a female assassin who will bring their worlds crashing together....

Thrilling to the end.

“As always, a brilliant read. Love the characters in these books and I cannot wait until the next book, very enjoyable”.
