But her seemingly aimless island-hopping soon raises Jonah’s suspicions. He’s convinced she’s mixed up in a drug-smuggling ring.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This is a great book. Absolutely flew through the book as I couldn't put it down.” Charles

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “WOW! That was an excellent read . . . a real page-turner!” Lewis

Nick Shannon is a convicted killer. But don’t let that put you off. He had his reasons.

Seven years ago his sister was paralysed by a hit-and-run driver. His fierce love for her made him agree to end her agonising pain with a heroin overdose.

Now Nick’s out of prison. All he wants is to put his life back together – and to find the man who crippled his sister and killed her boyfriend.

But it’s not long before Nick finds himself in trouble with the police again.

Nick goes to meet his boss at home. But he finds him with his head cut off . . . And now Nick’s the prime suspect.

AN UTTERLY GRIPPING PAGE-TURNER THAT WILL HAVE YOU HOOKED.

Fans of Mark Dawson, Frederick Forsyth, David Baldacci, J.B. Turner, Rob Sinclair, Lee Child, Vince Flynn and Robert Ludlum will devour this series of utterly addictive page-turners.

NICK SHANNON
Nick Shannon is a survivor and good guy really. Before his time in prison, Nick was a mathematician and bridge player extraordinaire. He’s also a ladies man and a risk taker, which means he often finds himself in trouble and on the wrong side of the law. While in prison, Nick formed bonds with a band of likeable rogues who helped him through his time inside – and out. He achieves a distinction in the exams for The Chartered Association of Certified Accountants. Once released, Nick finds a job in the ‘Acquisitions and Mergers’ team – or the ‘Due Diligence’ team – at Jameson Browns, one of the larger firms of chartered accountants in London.

DI Sam Clayton is called to a murder scene in Holt, not expecting to find his estranged sister at the scene. Her husband, Henry Lambton, has been murdered. Meanwhile, vicious arson attacks in Norwich are sparking fear among the locals. The two crimes stretch the team to their limits. But they must pull together and race against time to prevent more attacks and get justice for their loved and not so loved ones.

BOOK 3: PLAY DEAD
Musician Kristina Manning is impaled by her cello spike. The disgraced conductor is found with his head stuffed in a piano. And a trumpeter dies, poisoned by his mouthpiece.

Detective Inspector Sam Clayton leads the investigation into the North Norfolk murders. He joined the police straight from school as a beat bobby in Manchester before rising through the ranks of the CID. He was transferred to Norwich after being promoted to DI following a high-profile case investigated by Lancashire Constabulary.

She has to deal with a high-pressure job while raising a six-year-old child who moved with her to Norwich.

THE SETTING

It is a place, frequented by dog walkers and birdwatchers, where myth and reality collide. Locals talk about a hell hound that roams the marsh in the mist, bringing death in its wake. When the mist rolls in, it is blindingly thick in minutes. When it retreats, who knows what will be left behind?

IN THIS SEVEN-BOOK BOXSET:
SHRINE TO MURDER
Luke Redman is stabbed to death in his bed. The clues are as sparse as they are puzzling: A character in early Roman dress is observed at every murder and a laurel leaf is left on each corpse. Inspector Angel races against the clock to find the killer. Can he prevent further bloodshed?

THE SNUFFBOX MURDERS
Inspector Angel and his team are looking for an antiques thief and murderer who tears out the tongue of anyone he fears might give him away. The only link is that they are all interested in acquiring antique gold snuffboxes. Can Angel stop a murderer before he snuffs anyone else out?

THE DOG COLLAR MURDERS
A ticket clerk is shot dead at the railway station. The murderer was wearing a dog collar and was seen arguing with the victim. Inspector Angel is under pressure, and the investigation becomes even more dangerous as he races to find the killer and prevent more blood being spilled.

THE CHESHIRE CAT MURDERS
A young man is found dead by the river, with lumps taken out of him by a savage and sharp-toothed predator. A witness sees a big black wild cat running off. It appears that the cougar is under human control and is trained to kill to order. Can Inspector Angel stop any more cat killings before panic takes hold in Yorkshire?

THE DIAMOND ROSARY MURDERS
Inspector Angel investigates the murder of a young girl in the back streets of Bromersley. The victim is thought to be a member of a gang wanted for stealing the priceless diamond and ruby rosary which had belonged to Queen Mary I. But the body disappears before Angel arrives. What’s going on?

THIRTEEN STEPS TO MURDER
An old man in pyjamas is found dead at the bottom of the stairs. His wheelchair is next to him — was he pushed or did he fall? Inspector Angel is drawn into an intricate web of family lies and deceit. The pressure is on for Angel to unravel the mystery and identify the killer before another body is found.

THE FRUIT GUM MURDERS
Inspector Angel and his team rush to a murder scene. The victim is found half-dressed in a hotel room bed. On the floor Angel finds a red fruit gum. Then another victim is found with a fruit gum by their body. The killer has struck more than once and Angel is thrown headlong into a world of blackmail and deeply buried family secrets.

MEET THE DETECTIVE
Fifty-something Michael Angel is married to Mary. They are a devoted couple but the relationship sometimes breaks down due to his job or Mary’s meddling sister, who lives in Edinburgh and imposes on their easygoing natures. Michael works at the local police station. He is committed to defeating crime, murder, and dishonesty of any sort, but has no personal ambition beyond being a good husband and a successful detective. He doesn’t want promotion with all the bureaucracy and stress that goes with it. He is incorruptible but always short of money. He is always at odds with his immediate chief, Detective Superintendent Horace Harker, a lazy hypochondriac with not the slightest interested in assisting Angel in serious police work.

She’s gone off the grid to expose Haggarty as the ruthless killer he is.

DCI Colin Anderson is worried about how far Costello will go in the search for justice. But he has other things on his plate.

First there’s a badly beaten body found on a remote mountain pass.
Then a woman turns up with a serious head wound, and she won’t say a word.
And now a pool of blood is discovered at the edge of Loch Lomond.

Surely not connected to DI Costello . . . ?

AN ELECTRIFYING SCOTTISH THRILLER WITH A HEART-STOPPING FINALE.

Fans of Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, Denise Mina, Matt Brolly, Carol Wyer, Joy Ellis, Stuart MacBride, Angela Marsons, Helen H. Durrant, J.D. Kirk, D.S. Butler and L.J. Ross will love this series.

What readers are saying about The Sideman:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “There are red herrings aplenty . . . and the finale, which you will not see coming, is a stunner. In my view, this is even more accomplished than her previous books . . . This feels like some kind of writing peak.” B. Hannan

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Again Caro Ramsay has given us another exceptional read. When can we please have the next one? Soon, pretty please?” Mandi

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “If you like your crime thrillers dark, disturbing, and compelling, then this is the author for you. Her writing is captivating, her characters are true to life, and the world she’s created is — although terrifying — completely believable. The Sideman is a pacy and gripping read; I devoured it in three sittings (lockdown with four kids has reduced my reading time, otherwise I’d have done it in one!) and I cannot wait for the next one!!” Emma

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Having read this gritty and atmospheric series from the beginning, I love these Glasgow-based police procedurals featuring DI Costello and DCI Colin Anderson. This is a stellar addition . . . I am already looking forward to the next in this distinctly moreish series.” Paromjit

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This one was a nail-biter for me from page one. I was emotionally exhausted by the book’s end, but what a wonderful ride this story was.” Deb

“A solid police procedural with more twists and turns than some of Scotland’s dangerously narrow roads.” Kirkus

THE DETECTIVES
DI Colin Anderson: A well-qualified graduate with true Scottish grit. He’s calm, efficient and focused — despite his marriage falling apart, and the fact that he’s just a tiny bit in love with the boss’s wife.

DS Winifred “Freddie” Costello: Pithy, sometimes crabbit (as they say in Glasgow), Costello is incredibly capable, but not above pushing boundaries when needed. She’s a well-respected officer who always puts police work first. She’s had a crush on DCI McAlpine for many years now, but that doesn’t stop her getting the job done.

THE SETTING
Drizzly, grey Glasgow and its seedy backstreets along with up-and-coming new estates is the setting for this gritty series. The realities of poverty and crime are laid bare — with the underfunded police department trying to keep the damn from breaking.
