2. Singing To The Dead
Seven-year-old Troy McEwan is only wearing leggings and a thin fleece. It’s down to minus three at night and the snow is falling. His mum doesn’t know where he is. Then little Luca Scott goes missing as well. Both boys endured years of neglect and abuse, but now it seems they might have fallen into something even more dangerous. Anderson and Costello contemplate the very worst — has someone taken these boys? It’s the week before Christmas and the squad has been decimated by the flu. With a nit-picking new boss and the media more interested in the return of a local pop star, it’s going to take everything Detectives Anderson and Costello have to find these missing kids.
3. Dark Water
A bitterly cold February in Glasgow. In the attic of a deserted tenement, the body of a man is found hanging, his face disfigured beyond recognition. Around his neck is a sign that reads: I Am Stephen Whyte. Investigating officers DI Anderson and DS Costello believe the dead man was the prime suspect in a decade-old unsolved case. Ten years ago, a young woman was brutally attacked and left for dead. Now the man found hanging has the exact same horrific injuries. There are other similar cases on file. But the dead man didn’t act alone, he had an accomplice — who is still on the loose . . .
4. The Blood Of Crows
Which is worse — the devil you know, or the DEVIL you don’t . . . ?
Glasgow, 2010, 11:30 pm. DI Colin Anderson is called out to help someone who’s got into trouble in the river. In fact, it’s a ten-year old girl. She’s been chained to a ladder on the riverbank. The tide comes in. She dies in Anderson’s arms. As if his week couldn’t get any worse, a gangster is burnt alive and a teenage boy is tortured then dropped off a bridge. It looks like these strange crimes are linked to an elusive criminal mastermind known as ‘The Puppeteer’. But what’s the link between DS Costello’s top-secret assignment in a posh private school near Loch Lomond and Anderson’s investigations into the local gang’s war with the Russian mafia?
5. The Night Hunter
Elvie McCulloch’s sister Sophie has been missing for 57 days. She went out for a run — and never came home. Then Elvie is driving home one night. The naked, emaciated body of a young woman crashes from high above onto an oncoming car. Elvie recognizes her as Lorna Lennox, who’s also been missing for weeks. But how did she fall from so high? Where had she been all this time? And why was she running for her life? Elvie teams up with retired — and disgraced — detective Billy Hopkins. The duo work with Anderson and Costello to find out what happened to Sophie and the other missing girls. But they’re up against a terrifying enemy: The Night Hunter. And time is running out for Sophie.
6. The Tears Of Angels
One year ago. Two boys are killed on a remote Scottish island. A third boy barely makes it back to shore alive. He says a man from the campground did it. Now. A 92-year-old woman is found burned to death in her home. On the same day, a man’s mutilated corpse is discovered in a field. His arms have been ripped from their sockets and a Tarot card stuffed in his mouth. The police connect the armless man to the island murders. But was he really responsible? And how is he linked to the death of the old woman? Detectives Anderson and Costello must dig up the past to connect crimes old and new in a case where nothing is as it seems.
7. Rat Run
In August 1992, a mother and her two young sons were brutally hacked to death in the woods behind their home. The boys were just three and one. The neighbour, Andrew Gyle, was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Now, twenty-three years later, a sinkhole emerges in the garden of the murdered family. In the wreckage, a grisly discovery is made. It may even throw Gyle’s conviction into doubt. Andrew Gyle always maintained his innocence. What if he really didn’t do it? Meanwhile, Anderson is back from his leave of absence, but Costello worries he is struggling to cope. His increasingly erratic behaviour makes her think the unthinkable: can she trust her own partner?
8. Standing Still
Glasgow is thronged with clowns, stilt-walkers and jostling crowds enjoying the West End Festival. The sky is blue and the annual carnival is in full swing. But people keep disappearing. Paige Riley has been missing for over a week. But no one cares because she’s homeless and a heroin addict. Nineteen-year-old David Kerr vanishes in plain sight. His mother is frantic with worry. And now a body is found folded up inside a cheap wooden tea chest in the quiet backstreets. The man inside has black lines drawn around his knees and ankles. DCI Anderson and DI Costello realize that a depraved murderer has taken advantage of their busiest day of the year. And this is only the beginning of the killer’s macabre plan . . .
9. The Suffering Of Strangers
Roberta’s six-week-old hasn’t been sleeping all week. He finally drops off in the car. She nips into the shop. She’ll be 30 seconds, max. But when Roberta returns, the unthinkable has happened. Her baby is gone. But he’s not only gone, he’s been replaced. With someone else’s baby. DCI Anderson and DI Costello are on the case. But then a five-week-old goes missing from her mum’s tiny flat. And it looks like she never even lived there. Plus, her mother is nowhere to be found . . .
10. The Sideman
George Haggerty is cleared of murdering his wife and son. He has a cast-iron alibi. But Costello knows he did it. But she has no support from the force. So she resigns. No notice, no goodbyes. She’s gone off the grid to expose Haggarty as the ruthless killer he is. DCI Colin Anderson is worried about how far Costello will go in the search for justice. But he has other things on his plate. First there’s a badly beaten body found on a remote mountain pass. Then a woman turns up with a serious head wound, and she won’t say a word. And now a pool of blood is discovered at the edge of Loch Lomond. Surely not connected to DI Costello . . . ?
