A Carriage for Lochee

by Malcolm Archibald Book 6 in the Detective Watters Mysteries series.

First published 2022

2.5(5)

Sergeant George Watters is already occupied with illegal drinking dens in Dundee and Lochee when an influential merchant reports a murder and the theft of a carriage. The inquiry leads Watters and Detective Scuddamore among travelling families, Russian dissidents and memories of an unresolved incident from the Crimean War.

The case links local policing to migration and international politics without losing sight of Lochee’s distinct community. Watters must work across social boundaries and determine whether wartime history explains the present crime or is being used to misdirect the investigation.
