WEDNESDAY 23rd APRIL, 2PM
ST PETER'S CHURCH, LINLITHGOW
The gripping new instalment in the Inspector Maclean series has landed!
***PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A DAYTIME EVENT!***
An ancient artifact, an innovative biotech company AND a whole lot of bloodshed left in its wake: this is shaping up to be Inspector Maclean's trickiest case yet, but one which readers will love. We can't wait to welcome James Oswald back to Linlithgow to discuss his writing life, and his farming life: we're here for the coo update!
"Detective Chief Inspector Tony McLean is called to investigate a break-in at Drake BioTech, a trendsetting Edinburgh start-up. It's well below McLean's pay grade, but given the extensive political connections of its eccentric owner Nathaniel Drake, he doesn't have a choice. Even if nothing appears to have been stolen.
A missing person case turns complicated for DI Janie Harrison when a body is found half-buried in woods outside the city. The missing man shows no signs of trauma, the cause of his death a mystery. But when another man - linked to the break-in - is discovered dead in similarly mysterious circumstances, the police suspect there may be some connection between the two.
McLean is convinced the answer lies with the strange ancient artefact clutched in the second dead man's hands. But when the two bodies are stolen from the mortuary, and the artefact goes missing from evidence, the race is on to prevent yet more death."
