McBride and Tanner

DI Jade Tanner's new Complex Crimes Unit is finding its feet. DS Mo Uddin is settling into his new Scottish home, Dr Petra McBride has stopped receiving anonymous calls, and Jade is working to support her son over the loss of his dad. But then a mysterious crime is added to their workload. The body of a young man is discovered at the top of Dunsinane Hill, with soil from Birnam Wood in his pockets. The two sites are sixteen miles apart, so this is no fluke. Petra and Jade immediately spot the Macbeth reference. And when another body is found at a second location linked to the play, they worry there could be more killings. Can the team solve the puzzle and work out where the killer will strike next, or will it be too late?

Friday, 6am. Three powerful people die simultaneously at a luxury estate on the banks of Loch Lomond. 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? Power and Treachery is the third part in the bestselling McBride & Tanner crime series, featuring characters from the DI Zoe Finch and Dorset Crime series.

DI Jade Tanner is finally allowing herself to be happy. She's got a new relationship and is coping with 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 at the brink of depression. And then two bodies are found at an archaeological dig on the Isle of Arran. One killed recently, one historical. Are the two bodies connected? And how will Mo cope with being sent up to Arran to investigate? Will the remoteness finally send him into the grip of despair? Or will it allow him to discover a love of Scotland? And can he and Petra solve the crime before the killer strikes again? Secrets and History is the fourth book in the McBride and Tanner series, perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Val McDermid and JD Kirk.
