Book
The Broughty Ferry Murder
First published 2024
Dundee, 1870. Now an inspector, George Watters is ordered to investigate a railway robbery whose consequences reach toward Broughty Ferry and a new murder. The expansion of rail travel gives criminals speed and anonymity, while commercial pressure and official expectations make a quick solution politically desirable.
The seventh mystery reflects a city being reorganised by suburban growth, railways and increasingly professional police work. Watters’s experience helps him connect evidence across jurisdictions, but advancement also makes him more exposed to institutional interests and public scrutiny.
