DIARY OF A MURDER

Rachel wakes up on the train with no idea who she is or where she is going. By chance she meets Rory MacDonald, just retired after twenty years in the military and a friend of Inspector James Bulmer. He discovers her identity just as her husband’s body is found in the boot of an abandoned car. Her suitcase on the back seat contains jewels, and Bulmer suspects that she is faking amnesia and that she is part of a gang involved in a number of crimes. Rory is convinced of her innocence, refusing to believe she is involved with a master criminal responsible for a series of robberies and the hijacking of whisky lorries, but is he being fooled by a pretty face and air of helplessness?
Bulmer builds up a convincing case, helped by Rachel’s confession that she killed her husband and had, in fact, been planning his murder for years. But uncovering the killer is only the first step in unmasking the man behind the crime wave.
Set in 1960s Edinburgh, this is the first of a series of novels featuring Rory, Bulmer and DC Alan Ferguson.

HUNTER’S MOON

For a whole year, a shadow lies over the village of Garven. When John Hunter’s wife is paralysed after the birth of their daughter, he employs Hannah as nurse housekeeper and sets in train a series of events that will destroy him. Hannah is ambitious and blind to anything but her own interests. Hunter is superstitious and God fearing. When things go badly wrong after he breaks a promise to his wife, he believes that a malign influence is at work, ruining both his personal and hs business life. 

Set in a small Scottish town, in the 1860s, against the back -ground of the last days of railway building, the story centres round the machinations of the malevolent Hannah. The cast includes the owner of the inn who embezzles some of the railway company’s cash; his daughter, who has to pick up the pieces; Tom the workhouse boy; and of course the baby, whose fate rests in Hannah’s hands.
In the background, are the people of the town, the Merchants Guild, the mill workers, and the railwaymen and their families, who can only watch as events unfold.
