A missing schoolgirl. A haunted detective. A dark mystery.
When the body of Mandy Gibson, a young disabled girl, turns up in the affluent East Lothian town of Garleton, DC Scott Cullen finds himself caught in the cross-fire of competitive police politics as he tries to solve the case.
The heartbroken parents don’t hesitate to point the finger of suspicion at young Jamie Cook, a tearaway teen with a long history of run-ins with the police. But where is he now?
Could Mandy's death be anything to do with the families of both the victim and the suspect belonging to a secretive religious cult run by an excommunicated priest? The only way for Cullen to catch the killer is by finding out the darkest secrets of this close-knit community, one family at a time.
From bestselling author Ed James, Devil in the Detail is a tightly woven, gripping crime novel set in a middle-class town that isn’t nearly as wholesome as it looks.
For fans of Ian Rankin, JD Kirk and LJ Ross, Devil in the Detail is the second Scottish crime thriller featuring Detective Constable Scott Cullen, in the gritty Scottish police procedural series that has set the bestseller charts alight.
Praise for Devil in the Detail:

‘The characters are convincingly drawn, and show all the human failings and frailties of real people … If I have a complaint, it's only that Mr James will be completely unable to keep up with my reading speed. If there can be a higher compliment, I'm already comparing his quality with that of the late lamented Ed McBain’ R. Benson, Amazon five-star review
‘A real nail-biter’ Brian Smith, Amazon five-star review
