The Three Bridges Murder
(2025)(The second book in the Morven MacLeod series)
A novel by Drew Augustine
A murdered woman. A missing baby. A truth more horrifying than either.
When the mutilated body of a pregnant woman is found beneath Edinburgh’s iconic Three Bridges, Detective Morven MacLeod is thrust into a shocking investigation. Alongside her partner, the brilliant but abrasive Bill Arnold — a detective counting down the days to retirement — she must untangle a case where every clue leads deeper into danger.
At first, the killing looks like a brutal one-off. But when the victim’s unborn baby is discovered missing, Morven realises this is only the beginning. Soon, another vulnerable young woman is lured to Scotland, unknowingly stepping straight into the hands of a ruthless criminal network.
As Morven and Bill race to uncover the truth, they expose a chilling underground trade where human life is a commodity — and the price is always highest for the vulnerable.
The Three Bridges Murder is a dark, gripping Scottish crime thriller that will keep you turning the pages late into the night.
Perfect for fans of Val McDermid, Mo Hayder, Karin Slaughter, and readers who love gritty detective mysteries.
