When a young homeless girl dies in the latest of a string of arson attacks, Dr. Rhona Macleod is called in. But the chief fire investigator is the hot-tempered misogynist Severino Macrae, and he doesn’t like to lose face. As the attacks escalate, will the strain in their relationship distract them from the murderous arsonist who seems to be infiltrating both their personal lives and their work?
I'm the author of eight novels featuring forensic expert Dr Rhona MacLeod which have been translated into a number of languages. The series has been optioned for television and 'Final Cut' is currently being developed as a three parter. I am also a screenwriter. My first film 'Small Love' was shortlisted for a TAPS writer of the year award. My second film won a Scottish BAFTA for best fiction and also the Celtic Film Festival's Best Drama award.
'Dead Close' a short story contained in 2011 Best of British Crime Anthology is currently being made into a movie.
Other short stories have been published in anthologies such as the MacAllan 10 year collection and dramatised on BBC Radio 4.
