‘Templeton has become the crime tzar of the Scottish small town.’ Val McDermid.
Detective Kelso Strang hasn’t been sent to Skye to solve a case — he’s been sent there to disappear.
THE SETTING
These six unforgettable mysteries unfold across Scotland’s stark, rugged, rural landscapes, where remote villages, desolate moors, rolling hills, and dramatic cliffs conceal a deeper tension.
From the windswept Flow Country to the stillness of the Scottish Borders, to the isolation of the Isle of Skye, each place reflects the secrets its people hide. 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 DETECTIVE
DI 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.
