Overview: The Jean Fairbairn/Alasdair Cameron series, a new cross-genre (mystery, romance, paranormal) series featuring Michael and Rebecca Campbell-Reid from Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust in cameo roles.
Genre: Mystery
1. The Secret Portrait
Fleeing an academic scandal and a broken marriage, Jean Fairbairn has come to Scotland to work for an Edinburgh-based history and travel magazine. Writing about the Scottish national pastime of playing illusion off reality is just the quiet, scholarly pursuit she needs to soothe her burned-out emotions.
But when Jean heads for the Highlands to investigate the 18th century mystery of Bonnie Prince Charlie’s lost treasure, she finds herself involved in a contemporary murder case–and not as an innocent bystander, either.
Alasdair Cameron, the police detective in charge, has his own perspective on reality and illusion. The American dot-com millionaire living out his tartan fantasies in a restored mansion is the loosest of loose cannons. His trophy wife isn’t necessarily standing by her man. Their housekeeper knows what’s going to happen before it does. And their youth piper is a kilted daydream, even though his parents are nightmares.
At Glendessary House, old wounds and old glories aren’t distant memories evoked over a glass of single-malt, to the skirl of the pipes. Here, they are up close, personal, and deadly.
It’s a good thing Jean has back-up in Edinburgh, including Michael and Rebecca Campbell-Reid from Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust, returning in cameo roles. Because if butting heads–not to mention hearts–with Cameron isn’t enough to do her in, then a killer is waiting and watching, with a motive for murder not hidden nearly deeply enough in the past.
6. The Mortsafe
The lights went out. . . . A mortsafe is an iron cage locked over a grave to deter body snatchers. They haven’t been seen in Scottish kirkyards for almost two centuries. So why is a mortsafe lying next to a pair of decayed bodies in one of Edinburgh’s infamous underground vaults? Newlyweds Jean Fairbairn and Alasdair Cameron are called out on the cold case, in the coldest part of the year, brightened only by the red paper hearts of Valentine’s Day in the shop windows. It’s when living, beating hearts are stopped too soon that memories can become cages stronger than iron. No deaths are ever entirely forgotten, not when businessmen from ghost hunters to restaurateurs can profit from them. Not when earning a living can sometimes become secondary to simply staying alive. It’s February in the ancient city of Edinburgh, where footsteps echo in secret passages, and lovers don’t always have the time to make memories together.
