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?
Having recently returned to Castletown in the hope of winning back his estranged wife, DCI Jim Carruthers finds himself up to his eyes in the investigation.
Struggling with a very different personal problem, DS Andrea Fetcher assists Jim in the hunt for the murderous perpetrators. To prevent further violence they must find the answers quickly. But will Jim's old adversary, terror expert McGhee, be a help or a hindrance?

I enjoyed Robbing The Dead. Part of the appeal is that's it set in Scotland, my home turf. I also enjoy reading books set in the country where I was born and live. This is the kind of thriller I like, twisty and fast-paced. I also liked the characters as well. They are well written and fleshed out.
