McBride & Tanner

DI Jade Tanner has been plunged into managing the Complex Crimes Unit, Police Scotland's newest investigating team. She's recruited Dr Petra McBride, fresh from losing her job at Dundee University, and DS Mo Uddin, who's reluctantly transferred from Birmingham. When America's newest internet billionaire is shot on the shores of Loch Lomond, the team is brought in. Jade suspects a connection with the shooting of a local millionaire, an unsolved case which has been haunting her.

When the G7 summit comes to Loch Lomond, DI Jade Tanner and her team are on high alert. But they aren’t expecting three delegates from three of the most powerful countries to all die in suspicious circumstances — in separate locations, but at the same time. Are the deaths linked? If so, how did the killer or killers get away? And can forensic psychologist Dr Petra McBride help Jade solve the case before there’s an international incident?

DI Jade Tanner is finally allowing herself to be happy. She’s got a new relationship and is balancing being a single mum and heading up the Complex Crimes Unit. But her team aren’t doing so well. Petra has made yet another relationship misstep and DS Mo Uddin is teetering on the brink of depression. Then a body is found at Lochranza Castle on the Isle of Arran. Somehow the killer has placed a boat inside the castle and the body inside the boat, in a way that suggests ritual. The victim is a member of an eco encampment a mile away, a group with secrets and tensions brewing.
