Caro Ramsay is back this week with a hugely gripping Scottish crime thriller. THE SIDEMAN is out now and on offer for a limited time.

George Haggerty has been cleared of all charges for the murder of his wife and son.

But Detective Costello knows he did it . . .

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Ramsay’s quirky narratives and unflinching plots deserve a place on even the most well-stocked book shelf.” Liz

Meet your next favourite Scottish detectives: DI Colin Anderson and DS Winifred ‘Freddie’ Costello.

George Haggerty is cleared of murdering his wife and son. He has a cast-iron alibi. But Costello knows he did it.

But she has no support from the force.

So she resigns. No notice, no goodbyes.

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.
