The Dead End

Cullen, Hunter and Bain return in The Dead End, a two-part novel that will end the career of one... And maybe the life of another...

Gore Glen
A missing politician. A dead body. There will be gore.

When a leading Scottish politician doesn't turn up at work one morning, it seems like a simple missing persons case to Brian Bain. But then a big news story lands and things don't seem to be so clear cut.

Meanwhile, the discovery of a body in Midlothian's Gore Glen leads DI Scott Cullen on a wild chase through nearby Gorebridge and across southern Scotland, while the press close in on Cullen over choices made on a previous case, unearthed during a new mysterious podcast about the police. Is there a connection between the two cases? Will Cullen be able to catch the killer before they strike again? And will the ghosts of Cullen's past come back to haunt him?

The Last Drop
A dead student in a bath. A missing killer, hiding more than her location.

When the body of a postgraduate student is found in an ice-cold bath, DI Scott Cullen and his team must hunt for the flat’s tenant. But she doesn’t want to be found, hiding more than just her location.

Meanwhile, Brian Bain is nearing the endgame in his mission to bring down Cullen, aided and abetted by DS Luke Shepherd, another person who is hiding the truth from Cullen.

Will Cullen find the killer? Will Bain succeed in taking revenge? Will Shepherd achieve closure?
