The second book in the Teàrlach Paterson PI series will soon be available to request on NetGalley and released on 28th June 2024. The team are faced with a seemingly impossible task – to prove the innocence of young Logan Martin; found with a knife in his hand and with his father dead at his feet. The first impossible hurdle they have to deal with is he’s admitted to murdering his father and has been sentenced to a long prison term.

Teàrlach initially doubts the young man’s innocence, but then a serial killer begins to leave his victims at predetermined points coinciding with Glasgow’s pagan roots. When he discovers a link between these seemingly unconnected murders and the Martin’s neighbours, events take a surprisingly sinister turn.

Following on from the success of The Girl In The Loch, this is a slice of tartan noir that will keep you wanting to know more as Teàrlach and his team put their own lives at risk in pursuit of the serial killer the press have dubbed ‘The Pagan’.
