"Great stories with wonderful plots and characters" Included in this five-book boxset: Book 1- Robbing The Dead : Quiet Places hard dark secrets... In a small Scottish university town, what links a spate of horrible murders, a targeted bomb explosion and a lecturer's disappearance? Is a terror group involved? If so, who is pulling the strings? And what does something that happened over forty years ago have to do with it? Book 2 - Care to Die : The past is buried deep but for how long? Struggling with his demotion back to DI and his concern for the grieving DS Andrea Fletcher, Jim Carruthers is thrown in at the deep end when the body of an old man is discovered stabbed to death in a nature reserve- a ball of cloth rammed into the back of the victim's throat. The only suspect is a fifteen-year-old neighbour who is known to the police for antisocial behaviour. But the teenager has an alibi. Book 3 - Mark of the Devil : Vengeful killers. Innocent victims. A determined detective. While Inspector Jim Carruthers and team are busy investigating a series of art thefts, they receive an anonymous tip-off about the body of a young woman on a deserted beach. The bizarre clues to her identity and what might have happened to her include a strange tattoo, a set of binoculars and a slab of meat left on the cliffs. Book 4 - Dark is The Day: A crazed killer. Unsuspecting victims. A town gripped by terror. DI Jim Carruthers has to put his personal feelings for newly- appointed DCI Sandra McTavish aside when a young student is brutally attacked and left for dead. Meanwhile, when a university lecturer is stalked by one of her own students, Carruthers is horrified to discover that the academic is none other than his ex-wife, Mairi. Are the attacker and stalker one and the same, and if so, will Carruthers' ex-wife be next? Book 5 - In Deep Water Accident or Murder? When local fisherman, Robert Paterson goes missing it is assumed by DCI McTavish that the man has fallen victim to another tragic fishing accident. However, things don't add up for Inspector Jim Carruthers. Why did Paterson take his boat out at night when he would normally fish during the day? Has he taken his own life or has something more sinister taken place? The Inspector Jim Carruthers series are the perfect reads for all readers of crime, detective and mystery fiction. If you are a fan of authors like Helen Fields, Joy Ellis and Angela Marsons, you'll be sure to love this gripping crime series."-- Provided by Freading. |
