Summary

Detective Lola Harris returns from a miserable solo holiday – an effort to get over her useless ex – only to find herself in charge of a high-stakes investigation.

She rushes to a crime scene in the historic Gallowgate neighbourhood. The smell in the basement is thick and sweet, even through Lola’s forensic mask.

The old wooden chair and the rope hanging from its arms are stained red. The earth below is saturated with blood. Six candleholders, their lights burned out, lend the scene an air of a completed ritual. And yet there is no sign of a body.

A smashed-up phone in the corner puts the investigators on the trail of a local politician who has vanished without trace and a controversial artist who died 30 years ago on a remote Hebridean island. Lola will have to work with the most obnoxious detective in Glasgow if she’s going to stop the killer from striking again.

Critic reviews

'From its disturbing gothic opening to the final twist, Murder in the Gallowgate had me hooked!' (Margaret Murphy, Dagger-winning author of Before He Kills Again)

'An absolutely gripping murder mystery with a fabulous, strong female detective. The plot twists took my breath away. I’m hooked!’ (Victoria Dowd, author of The Smart Woman’s Guide to Murder)

'A truly compelling crime novel from an author to watch, which has not only a gutsy and believable central character but enough twists and surprises to satisfy even the most hardened crime reader. Highly recommended.' (Matthew Booth, author of the Everett Carr mysteries)
