This is the first novel in a crime/mystery series set in a fictional town in north-east Scotland called Cairnburgh. The books feature Detective Chief Inspector Jack Carston, happily married to his photographer wife, Kath, whose good humour and common sense act as a perfect stabilising mechanism which makes him more able to accept the depressing evidence of man’s inhumanity to man with which he’s constantly confronted in his job. Stephanie Burnham’s mutilated body is discovered by her husband. A chair’s overturned, books are scattered around and there are other, more sinister signs of what must have happened. For DCI Jack Carston, newly arrived in Scotland, the case is a conundrum. The evidence points to the husband – the marriage was a sham, they both had lovers – but his alibi is sound. And there are too many other threads to be followed, not least the mystery of the woman herself. What was she? A high-flying businesswoman or a middle-aged drunken depressive? Sexy or frigid, intelligent or stupid, callous or loving? It seems to depend on who’s answering his questions. To solve the mystery of her death, Carston first needs to find out who she was. In his review of Material Evidence, the critic of the Press and Journal wrote: ‘The story concerns murder and adultery in the Aberdeen commuter town of Cairnburgh. But who did what to whom? That’s what DCI Carston has to unravel. Fine Rendellian touches and a structure and depth that is rare in a first book make this a cracking page-turner. The denouement, when it comes, will shake you.’

Literature & Fiction

Two Teenage Boys, Both at a Crossroads...
Harlan and Manny are both seventeen years old, but they couldn't be more different. Harlan is an athlete with a beautiful girlfriend, the son of a powerful U.S. Senator, and possibly the most popular kid in his high school. Meanwhile, Manny is a quirky theater geek, the son of a struggling single father, and one of the school's least popular kids. And yet, Harlan and Manny both share the same sense of foreboding, a feeling that something is not right in each of their lives.
They have something else in common as well, even if they don’t know it. Fourteen years ago, when they were both three years old, a tragedy occurred — an accident that would link the two boys together forever, even as it ultimately drove them apart. It’s an event that both of them barely remember, but it still haunts them in the form of Harlan's premonitions and Manny's nightmares. Somehow both boys know that nothing will ever be right until they can each unravel the secret of the terrifying instant that lies at the center of both their lives.
