The Cold Truth (Police Scotland 13, Paperback)

Cullen, Hunter and Bain return in a three-part novel, where each of them must face the Cold Truth.

City of the Dead
A body in a bin. Two cops at each other's throats.

Acting DI Scott Cullen faces his worst fear – managing DS Brian Bain, his old boss and notorious loose cannon. But when Cullen is called through to Glasgow to investigate a murder, Bain is back on his home turf.

A body found in an industrial bin, soaked in bleach and naked except for an adult nappy. Amid an ongoing investigation into similar crimes, but stopping short of murder, can Cullen rise above Bain's behaviour and solve the crime?

World's End
A body in a supermarket. A cop with a plan. Another with a nightmare.

When a body turns up in an Edinburgh supermarket, Acting DI Scott Cullen must dig into the victim's life—and his own recent past.

While DS Brian Bain is in charge of investigating the supermarket and its staff, including the tainted meat scandal of a few years ago, he's also scheming away, trying to solve the case before his boss.

But will Cullen's goal be thwarted by Bain's game? Will Bain save the day? And will they catch the killer before they strike again?

Hell's Kitchen
Two cities in lockdown. Two cops in distress, separated by an ocean.

"Ach, it'll be fine." Famous last words that leave DS Brian Bain trapped across the other side of the Atlantic from where he needs to be. Recording a podcast while the world ends.

"This is a nightmare." Shoved back into operational policing to manage the lockdown in Edinburgh, Acting DI Scott Cullen is faced with some ghosts from his past. Ghosts that kill.

And with Bain thousands of miles away, can his long-standing plan come to fruition? Or will events dictate his actions?
