“Don your deerstalker & grab your magnifying glass. You’re going to need them to untangle this twisty murder mystery.” Sandy

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

Glasgow is thronged with clowns, stilt-walkers and jostling crowds enjoying the West End Festival. The sky is blue and the annual carnival is in full swing. But people keep disappearing.

Paige Riley has been missing for over a week. But no one cares because she’s homeless and a heroin addict.

Nineteen-year-old David Kerr vanishes in plain sight. His mother is frantic with worry.

And now a body is found folded up inside a cheap wooden tea chest in the quiet backstreets. The man inside has black lines drawn around his knees and ankles.

DCI Anderson and DI Costello realize that a depraved murderer has taken advantage of their busiest day of the year.

And this is only the beginning of the killer’s macabre plan . . .

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 STANDING STILL:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Caro Ramsay writes brilliant dark, disturbing and twisted police procedurals. A superb and compelling read that I recommend highly to crime fiction fans.” Sevenpin

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Well, this was a read and a half for me. I am glad I could read it practically straight through with not many life interruptions as when I did have to put it down, I pined for the time when I could pick it up again.” Ashrae

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I thoroughly enjoyed Standing Still, which drew me in from the start and never let go.” Elaine

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A totally absorbing and macabre crime novel.” Damaskcat

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Number 8 in the Anderson and Costello series — the best yet! What a plot . . . and what an ending.” Martha

“If you’re looking for a few hours’ reading guaranteed to disturb your dreams, look no further than Ramsay’s imperishably creepy Glasgow.” 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.
