It's summer, and Edinburgh's iconic Royal Mile is heaving with visitors. But a series of brutal murders, targeted at the city's gay community, is causing widespread unease. Meanwhile, public discontent with the ruling Nationalist party has spilled on to the streets, whilst a loud-mouthed far-right challenger is stoking the fire of anti-English sentiment. But for private investigator Maggie Bainbridge, it's business as usual, commissioned by charismatic politician Jack Urquhart to find out if his partner is having an affair. As for her fiancé DCI Frank Stewart, he's reluctantly investigating the bizarre claim of a beautiful CIA spook that shady enemies of the state are secretly orchestrating this outbreak of civil mayhem. In Scotland? Surely not! But as the body-count starts to mount, and the awful truth slowly emerges, Maggie has to take drastic action to protect herself and the ones she loves.
The Royal Mile Murders is a fiendishly-twisty character-driven murder mystery, perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, Ann Cleeves and LJ Ross.
