Detective fiction with a dash of romance.

BOOK 1
A simple case of a missing sister. Or is it?

Ian Skair has a new client. He has been invited to an ancient castle perched on a rocky promontory on the Angus coast by charismatic Alexander Lyton, Laird of Drumlychtoun. The laird wants Ian to find his sister Ailish. It should be a simple missing person search, but most families have their secrets and black sheep, and the Lytons of Drumlychtoun have more than their fair share.
The Drumlychtoun estate has passed from father to son over the generations. Alexander is childless and Ailish is assumed to be his heir. But they haven’t seen each other for over fifty years. Ailish left home when she was nineteen and hasn’t been heard of since.
The case becomes more and more complex as Ian uncovers secrets and intrigues, thefts and legends which could lead both him and the family into danger.

Can Ian reunite the laird with his sister? Or will it mean telling Alexander more than he really wants to know?

BOOK 2
Can Ian and Lottie solve the puzzle of the postcards?

World famous concert pianist Felix Lansman has a collection of postcards sent to him anonymously. He is sure they are from the love of his life, Jamie McLeash.

Felix wants Ian to find out.
The trail takes Ian all over Scotland and the more he discovers about Jamie the more he is convinced of his innocence. If he finds him, he could help him clear his name.

Can he find the real murderer before the murderer finds Jamie?
