From an Eagle's Nest

Chasing Shadows #3

by Eden James

Relics from the past keep resurfacing as Hamilton and Natalia have a race on their hands to find out just what Andrew Sutherland had stashed away all those years ago.

Cameron’s quiet existence as a provincial policeman is turned upside down once again. First by a prisoner’s recant on the eve of his judicial hanging, then by the discovery of a mutilated corpse out on an exposed glen. With one conviction to reinvestigate and another to prosecute, things don’t get any easier when the victim is identified as the daughter of a former Chief Constable.

Meanwhile Sutherland’s misadventures continue after his defection from the Soviet Union. Acting as chauffeur to the Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, his information begins to bring attention to a formidable, sleeping dragon. Yet, with a murder hanging over his head and a determined investigator from Moscow, has his luck finally run out?

About the author

Eden James lives in Staffordshire, where he work as a laboratory specialist for an automotive manufacturer. Graduating as a mechanical engineer he has always had a love of history, architecture and travel, and a keen interest in engineering and cars, especially the old classics. Eden James sees them not just as mechanical devices but as compelling design motifs and silent commentators on the world in which they were born, and the lives of people that they shared. As such, a connection to cars is present in most works that he has written, not merely as props, but as a way of expressing an individual’s unique character.

A passion for the Scottish Highlands was born during regular family holidays to the Great Glen. Embarking on solo travels around the world, from Burma to Bolivia, Eden James has always been drawn back to the wild northwest of Scotland. An exploration of the Scottish north coast one bleak winter further galvanised his love of the Highlands, the dramatic mountains, secluded coves and charming, tight-knit communities. As an amateur photographer, the incredible drama of Glencoe, Wester Ross and the Outer Hebrides has inspired and furnished many opportunities to capture his love of nature on film and in his writing.
