Cases come in thick and fast for the veteran crime solver…
A student meets an untimely demise when she falls from Salisbury Crags in Edinburgh’s Holyrood Park. Was she pushed?

A drug dealer is dead and the squad is setting up a deadly sting. But without Knox and the clout he has among the criminal fraternity, they’re unable to move against rival gangs.
But is all as it seems? Can Knox juggle the two inquiries and bring home the bacon?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
As a native of Edinburgh, I’m particularly interested in the history of the city as a setting for crime. In the late eighteenth century, well-heeled citizenry of the medieval Old Town began moving across the Nor Loch (the area where Princes Street Gardens is now situated) to the Georgian New Town, where they lived in comparative splendour.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
A villain who took advantage of these changes was Deacon William Brodie, a cabinet-maker and much-respected city councillor by day, who maintained a secret life as a housebreaker by night. Brodie was caught stealing from one of those elegant new mansions and hanged at the Old Tolbooth on the city’s High Street in October, 1788.
Brodie was also the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s Jekyll and Hyde, and a character with traits not dissimilar to the people Knox runs into in his investigations.
